[R-390] R-390 (not A) green gear

[Jim Temple]

Well, after several days of "arm twisting", I have finally got one of the
list to drop a surplus "green gear" in my direction.  *This is hard to do
over cyberspace*. :-)  I know, I know, the gear is not absolutely necessary,
but I am like a Shaker in respect to work.  Do it the simplest way possible.

Thanks for your encouragement, guys.

Jim
