[R-390] Cover plates

[David Medley]

Larry,
Assuming this is an R-390 (non A) there are a number of cover plates which 
are frequently missing. These are:
1.RF deck cover. This is NOT the so called UTAH plate which belongs to the 
R390A. Available from Fair or Hank Arney.
2. Cover over the xtal osc. No known source.
3. Cover over the adjustment caps on rear panel. No known source.
4. Top and bottom covers interchangeable with R-390A. Available from Fair.
The radio will work fine without any of the above but you will have to be 
careful with dust and dirt. After all they are dust covers.
If you want any help with this radio I am at your service. Don't forget my

If you have an R-390A ignore all of the above.
Dave
