[R-390] R-390 IF, was Dead Horse, Hi, and Other Subjects.

>Tom/Cecil,  I did the conversion and also use the 390 non-a i.f. deck all 
the time in the 390a - kept the regular 390a i.f. deck  in reserve but 
doubt it'll go back in.  Yes,  my biggest problem was finding the 390 i.f. 
deck which took about a year of looking and I finally bought one on eBay.  
I think I've only seen 3 on eBay since I started looking, and no luck 
trying to get one out of other guys.  At one point Fair Radio told me they 
had some parts decks but the price seemed too high,  about $125,  if I 
remember right,  to go that route without knowing where I'd find other 
parts I might need.  I didn't pursue that avenue and ended up paying about 
a $100 for the one I have.  I doubt that I hear more with the conversion 
but it's pleasant listening.   Dan
 Cecil,
