[R-390] high dollar r-390a

[Bob Camp]

Hi,

Your obvious mistake was to put up all those high quality pictures and 
to describe the radio in exhaustive detail. If you had gone for a few 
poor photos and almost no description you *obviosly* would have gotten 
more money for yours.

Maybe we should deputize you to run over and check out the radio.....

One question - is that the right contract number for a '67 EAC ? I 
didn't check it against the list. It's certainly an EAC back panel with 
the gray terminal strips but I don't think the front and back match 
each other number wise ...

	Enjoy!
