[R-390] [Fwd: R-390 Replacing 6082 With Splid State]

[Al Solway]

Barry & All,

Some of us have a big foot but still manage to get it firmly lodged into
an even larger mouth. So I will take you up on your offer and will also
send Ralph a couple US 1 dollar bills. 

Just one snag. The R-390 is all in pieces now. Cleaning up the pieces,
replacing resistors and all those other good thing. The front panel
needs repainting and that's a spring project. Spring comes a bit late
north of you northern border. The bottom line is that I would not be
able to get the project tested in the radio until the summer. So if you
can wait until then you have a deal. I have  lot of free time now to do
the building. So Barry, if you email me the info I can get started
within a couple of days. 

BTW how and to whom  you subscribe to the Hollow State Newsletter.
