Hi.  I just bought my first R-390A.  The front panel tag says that it is =
a Collins Serial #1913, order # 8719-P-55.  The unit is complete with =
original meters and is in excellent overall condition.  Upon =
disassembly, all the modules in this unit are Teledyne from the 1963 =
contract.  The meters have a 65-3 printed on the back of them and a lot =
of the pots have a 64 or 65 stamping on the back.  There are also 2 B+ =
fuses, factory installed, in the back panel.  Could this all point to a =
1965 teledyne unit that had a 1955 Collins tag put on it??.
The Collins tag certainly appears to be an originial tag.  Is there any =
other indicators to help me establish if this is Collins or Teledyne.  =
It would seem strange to me to have all 6 of the modules replaced with =
Teledyne units of the same order number. =20
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,
Scott
