[R-390] Mc/Kc Knobs - Fair Radio

[scott]

I do remember recently reading about a clutch in
the handle.
What is a 389 worth?  I never see one of these
for sale.
My 390 is cleaning up nice Roy.  I can't wait to
have it finished so it can kick some 390A butt.  :-)
Fair Radio's knobs are nice, but don't look original
because they have no casting marks.  They are too
perfect.
