[R-390] ID of 390 Manufacturer

[Tom M.]

Repro tags are available from Fair Radio.

Make sure you measure the holes where the tag goes.  

The longer tags were on the early Collins and Motorola.

You can usually tell who made the RF deck (tends to stay with the frame)  of
the radio by looking at the dial counter.  It will likely say "Veedor Root" and
one other maker on it (this is not foolproof, however).

Some makers stamped the back of their frames (Motorola, Stewart Warner, EAC)
while others did not (Collins).

Keep digging and more info will surface.  Look at all the modules.
