 Hi Gang,

  Let me remind both purist and not-so-purist that solid state diodes in
the power supply is a common find and one of the mods usually found in
this radio. I had a r390A with this mod and that's the way it came from
the navy. It worked well for 20 some years with me and keeps going in
the hands of the new owner. Some solid state mods are more than
acceptable. We all would like to have nice original sets but as 26Z5s
and 3TF7s dissapear we have to do with what we have to keep these great
rxs going.

Best 73s
