Oh my! Very pretty and shiny!! Looks like he did a wonderful job.
I was lucky in getting a 390a from Don Reaves some years ago
in almost as good a shape, still use it, honestly has been the best
390A i have used, even better than the All Collins unit that I
blasphemously sold on Ebay a week or two ago. I say let the collectors
have the Collins sets, I will take the ones that just work nicely. :-)
And don't worry, it didn't go to Japan ( though I'm not sure why
that is such a bad thing, I love Collins gear too.... ) it is now in the
loving hands of Bill, KA4ZIW down in Florida.
