[R-390] Solid State R-390, Why Not?

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 11:35:01 -0400

Hey Tom, I drive a 1960 Austin-Healey 3000, and every original part is still
on the car, it steers perfectly, runs great, is very fast, and makes the
unmistakable sound that only a "Big Healey" can make!  Var-o-o-o-o-m!

There are NO transistors in this car!

No room in it for a 390 though.  :-(

Gentlemen?

Why not solid state a R-390A?

If it was very rare I'd say no.  But as plentiful as they are, why not
advance
the range of the 390A hobby?

Regarding the grandpa with two Jags, I guess I don't need to go into the
joke
as to why Jags are sold in pairs.
