If memory serves me correctly, you folks also have down there a lot or the nice old RCA AR-88s,
Hallicrafter SX-28s, Early National HRO variants and (of course) the AWA HRO 'knock off'.  Always
wondered about powering the US radios from your mains there. I suppose the variants sent to the
Commonwealth countries during WWII must have had different transformers in them or at least, multiple
taps like the SP-600 does.

Hadn't heard of an R-390A's there, but I know of at least one R-391. I'm in the process right now of
completing a deal for a load of WWII aircraft gear via QLD, then it'll be interesting to see what
other goodies reside in the land of Oz. I bet you have a lot of Eddystone gear there. Nice stuff!
