[R-390] Fowler R-390A S/N 1

[Jerry Kincade]

Still sitting on some dot-com money and your wife is looking for a unique
Father's Day gift?  Point her to this, currently listed on W5MC's website
www.collinsandharrisradios.com:

"FOWLER R-390A S/N 1 Built 1985. Fowler was contracted to build 5 each of
these. This unit is S/N 1 complete with matching Original US Navy Manual
Dated 1986 As well all modules are matching S/N 1s PRICE $3,000"

Collector-wise, I'd consider this the Mona Lisa of R-390A's. Mac has lots of
other esoteric goodies listed for sale, too - but this one sure caught my
eye. I don't have a spare three grand lying around or I'd probably have to
have it myself for bragging rights. No personal pecuniary interest, but I've
dealt with Mac before, and he's a straight-up guy who won't mess with
anything but the best of the best in radios.
