[R-390] Museum Quality R-390 Non-A on the E-Place

Todd,

Nice looking R-390, Museum Quality - NOT!

Tube shields, the ones installed are better but I
don't believe these were shipped with the original
R-390.

RF deck & Power supply screw heads not painted green.

No tools on the back panel and TS101 was replaced with
wrong type.

Covers appear to be the after market replacements and
not original style.

Wonder what else would be discovered with a hands on
inspection.

These may be nits that are being picked, but then
again this radio is supposed to be Museum Quality.  No
doubt this is a great looking restoration, but me
thinks that Museums would want something a bit closer
to the original.
