[Milsurplus] R-390

[Ray Fantini]

Saw the note about what to look for in an R-390 the other day and just ran across this on that place:
http://cgi.ebay.com/polished-aluminum-R-390A-R390A-r-390-HF-receiver-/280713229562?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415bcff4fa

Is this for real? Have a hard time believing all this about how the 390 is the greatest receiver ever built and how the NSA is still using them today! And I cannot think of any application where the government bought polished aluminum front receivers. The 390 a good receiver but this is almost to the point where I am surprised they are not offering it with oxygen free copper wire power plug for the significant improvement that only the most sophisticated operators will understand.
