Gee, we just put a burn bag over their heads so they could not read the
dials while being escorted through the area!

Hi Gang:

I have two of these very rare items to offer up for sale.  These are the
covers that mount on the R-390 and 390A (also the R-389 and 391)
mechanical frequency readout.  They flip up and down to conceal the
frequency to which the receiver is tuned.  There were used by the
super-secret "three latter" agencies who obviously didn't trust their
own employees from knowing these top-secret frequencies even though they
all had presumably undergone thorough security clearances before getting
into the building.  I never quite understood this.

Nonetheless, here they are.  $30.00 each plus shipping and insurance.
Sorry but I will not sell both to the same person.  In case of many
offers to buy them I may opt  to sell them to the best offer.

73,
