One more thing I could add is this - the ones I have all seem to need more
mechanical repair from heavy use or misuse than the R-390, R-391 and
R-390A's I've had.

I seemed to find more broken geneva couplers, truly worn cams, broken or
missing clamps, especially problems in the bandwidth switch mechanism.

Other than that, I've had only one real electrical problem, which was a
shorted B+ filtering capacitor.

Like the R-390, it is tight quarters to work in - the 390-A seems to have
more space and better layout.
