Last year I made a side-trip from Dayton to Fair Radio. I saw a big pile of
R-389 hulks with various amounts of  modules and parts still on them. There
may be a PTO or two among those carcasses... It may pay to ask Fair Radio.

So does mine: but there were less than 1000 made and most of
those are now in museums...

BTW, does anyone have a spare UN-DAMAGED PTO for an R-
389? I know someone who BADLY wants one for an other wise
pristine R-389. Somehow, something stuck in his as it was being
motored and it twisted up the insides something awful! He has tried
to repair it several times and it is too badly damaged to fix.
