I recently aquired another R390A as a part of a larger deal, and really
don't need (or have space  for) a 5th radio!

What I'd most like, is to trade this radio a good quality tube tester,
especially TV2, TV7D/U or Hickok Cardmatic 118B or KS-15874 tube tester.
I'd also consider trades for good sized lots of tubes.

I have not powered up the radio, as the pair of 26Z5's are missing and diode
mod has not been performed.  The radio looks quite clean, and I believe it
was in recent use.

Chassis is EAC '67, Nameplate is Imperial '63, but no serial number
Power supply is Teledyne, Audio Deck is Capehart, PTO is Cosmos.  I can't
easily get to markings on the other two decks to see who made them.

Quite clean, reasonably nice cosmetics.

Defects noted:

Missing main covers, but "Utah" cover is present
Oldham coupler is present, but spring is missing.
Missing tube shield on PTO, remainder of tube shields are present.
All tubes including 3TF7 are present except 26Z5's as noted above.
Meters appear to be replacements, but nicely done.
