[R-390] Collins 4:1

[Ray, W2EC]

Gotta keep in mind the 312A-1 has the lamp assembly, that's why a 312A-1
can get 1500 and a similar 270-G only gets $300 or so. It's
supply/demand working here, there just aren't that many, there are more
collectors than 312A-1's so it keeps the price up. Why is an R-391 worth
more than an R-390 and an R-390 worth more than an R-390A? Rarity, since
basically they are pretty much all the same capable receiver.
