Cheap? For either one? Not possible unless you happen to find one hidden away at an SK estate.
For one thing, there were only something like 1000 R-389s built, and all for the Army (why the Army, I never could figure out).
The last R-389 I sold went for something like $1500.00 plus shipping.
I had three at one time, and kept the worst, most incomplete, one of the bunch...and it is NOT for sale and never will be until after I am SK.
R-390s are also difficult to find. There weren't that many of them made.
R-390As are a bit more easily found, but still command a high price. Plus, you must replace a critical capacitor before you ever fire one up so you don't destroy the mechanical filters.
