My point was not a question of one over the other.  Rather, to point out 
a preference to repair and R390A v/s an R1051x.  Was also shamelessly 
hanging a hook if womeone out there repaired these to get my "H" variant 
working again.

Interesting that you love the 390 over the 1051. Not much of a 
difference accept the mechanics on the 390 kill me if someone has messed 
with them. I actually dealt with the 390s in the Navy and the intro of 
the 1051s. Both good units. But never found a 390 at a reasonable price. 
$300 or less.....
I did buy my 1051 way back at $700. Thats when they were about 1K of so.
Time flies and now 1051s are 100-300 and you simply don't see 390s 
anymore. Maybe ebay but I don't pay ebay prices. I am a ham after all.
