Phil,

My thought is that you could install the Utah plate and figure out a way to 
also include in the case a small muffin fan or two.  Just a small amount of 
moving air can keep a radio much cooler than without any fan(s).

The R-390 non-A REALLY needs a fan at the voltage regulator tubes.  Really.
