[R-390] R-220

I seem to remember working on R-220's back at Herzo Base during '56 - '59 .
My memory is they were very nice receivers when they were working right (and
they were very dependable) but were difficult to do any alignments on.
Everytime you put the covers back on, everything changed. We usually just
sent them on up to higher level of maintenance. Still, I would like to have
one, if ever I see one cheap enuff ;-) .
