[R-390] Hosstraders hamfest/gear clamps?

[b w]

Todd,

I don't know about the size of the S-38B and S-40. The 38B knob is plain 
bakelite, or plastic. No decorative center disk or trim ring. The only 
thing that I do know is that the small knobs match the 5R10A, and I can 
swap small ones for one large knob. This S-38B was given to me from the 
family of the original owner and is in excellent condition.  It seems a 
shame to not finish up the radio completely. I'm kind of surprised at 
how well it receives.
