[Milsurplus] R390A custom paint job

[John Vendely]

Howdy Brian,

There's no accounting for taste.  I've seen a variety of garish R-390A 
paint jobs, doubtless all done by hobbyists.  When I lived in Indiana, I 
knew a geezer who restored dozens of SP-600s in many different bizarre 
circus-day color schemes.  From talking to him, I got the impression 
that he felt he'd gone as far as was practical with electronic work on 
the receivers, and so turned to decorating them...

73,
