[R-390] Fair Radio - holy smokes

[Paul H. Anderson]

Hi folks,

I went to Fair Radio yesterday with a radio buddy who got me interested in
R-390's.  I was worried that the move from the interesting old building to
the new(er) lumberyard arrangement would somehow make it a less
interesting experience.

Boy, was I wrong.

The space and lighting at the new building makes it possible for a normal
customer to see far, far more of their stuff.  The difference is night and
day.  While things are not yet fully organized (by a long shot), and of
course may never be, it is simply amazing to be able to walk among many
dozens of long aisles of parts, equipment, tubes, and _stuff_ - sometimes 
stacked 12 or 15 feet high.

They have a lot of stuff that they can't advertise, because they don't
have enough of the items to sell, it is easy to wander across many
interesting, unique items.

I also talked with Dave (and others) a bit - he appears to be fully
recovered from his ills awhile ago, and is cruising away working on
R-390A's.

The move is ongoing and still gets in the way, but they have so so much
more stuff out it is worth a trip.  I could have spent two days there and
not seen everything.

Still need a good flashlight for the back warehouses.  Bring one.

No affiliation with Fair, just another satisfied customer...
