On the way back from Houston, I was lucky enough to stop off in Belton TX
for the hamfest there Saturday. I saw 3 R-390A's (two with Collins tags, one
with a repro tag) for sale.  These were in fair to nice condition, different
sellers, with a range of asking prices of $350, $500, and $900.  All had
meters and looked complete.  The $900 one was restored by Dave Medley
(according to seller) and included a cabinet.

The point of this post is for those of you looking for a R-390A.  They are
out there.  You just have to ask around, or get to the swapfests and see
what is available.  I may have a couple available at Dayton next month.

Happy foraging!
