[R-390] New to list- Identifying a Teledyne unit.

[blw]

Scott,

Glad you got an A and not the non-A variant. The R-390A is universally
considered a real man's radio.

Sometimes, this switched tag situation is mostly guesswork on the part of
the owner. Tags were swapped in order to satisfy inventory and inspections.
I have one radio that is all 1967 EAC except the Stewart-Warner tag. I was
lucky enough to have swapped tags with a guy who had the 67 EAC tag and he
wanted my S-W one. Maybe it was our two radios that were in the original tag
swap while in servce. (g)  We both ended up happy.
