If Amperite is still making the 3TF7 tube, then the Government must =
still be using R390A radios...... I wonder if the CIA repair shop =
(don't even ask how I know) is still refurbing them. There could still =
be thousands out there. One thing about the U.S. Government is that =
they know a good thing when they have it. Shades of the B-52 which is =
still going strong. And yes, it is my understanding that the line in =
WA. is still maintained if there should ever be a need for more......
Did you know that there are radio stations in NYC that are still using =
the Collins transmitters they bought in 1945? Amazing, this good stuff =
just never dies.....
