[R-390] R-30A Arrives!

[Bill Hawkins]

Well, you might be able to figure out about when the tag was
made. It was common practice to scramble tags and assemblies
at repair depots.

Serial numbers were started over with new contracts, so you'd
need to know the contract number (which should be on the tag)
in order to find out when the tag was made.

Bill Hawkins

I have been listening in for several months anticipating the
arrival of my R-390A. Its a Collins Serial # 4435 restored to
near new condition. Where do I find out what year it was made
in?
