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

How about this crazy idea:

Leave the original IF deck in there and tap off ahead of the MF's with a
switch or RF plug 'n socket setup to feed the signal into another rx with a
good L/C 455 IF?  The other receiver would also need a similar gimmick.
Maybe a crossover switch setup?  Actually, the other receiver could be ...
brace yourselves .. a NON-A.  Or maybe even an SP-600.
