Good luck with your new receiver Andy. I have a similar Motorola one here.
By the way, MFP stands for "mildew fungus protectant." MFP is the hard
greenish colored paint or coating used on many subassemblies as a
passivation layer.

Greetings to all on this list.

Having recently realised a long ambition to own a R390A receiver I have
become a subscriber to this list and I gather that you guys  like to know
some details on "new found" sets.
It is a Motorola built one from order 14 - PH - 56 serial No 564.  It has a
screen-printed front panel in excellent condition and the whole set is
pretty clean and shiny for going on 50 years old.  Both meters are originals
and the set has top and bottom covers but these look so new and un-marked
that I suspect they are repros.  The PTO is a Collins and most of the
sub-assemblies are stamped MFP which I assume is Motorola....
