[R-390] Pricing Help on Adler R-390A - I must be lucky ....

Fellow Collins obsessive, compulsives ....

I recently acquired a R-390A (from USA) as a companion for my Collins R-390.

It said Stewart Warner on the outside, and ALL modules are Stewart Warner on the inside!!!

I am starting to feel that I must be VERY LUCKY, that is if, Uncle Sam played mix and match for
all those years, with the insides. Is this the consensus out there ?
