[R-390] Multiple Radios

[flood at Krohne.com]

Thanks for all of the replies,

First of all I do not have the radio for sale.  There is one locally that
is available to me.  I have not seen it yet, so I cant give any tag data.
I was just trying to get a feel for a fair "local sale" (non e-pay) price
to offer.  I am also a bit confused, (no surprise to those who know me)
about the part numbers.  I was told that it is a "NASA" unit.  I come up
with both R-1274 and R-1247 hits on my internet searches.  Are both of
these "real" part numbers or is one a typo?

Tom,
Please let me know off list how much you wanted to get for the ext. synth.
just in case I get real brave!

When I see these on Epay, they seem to go for twice the
price of a regular 390A, with the description usually
telling of the radio being used in the space program,etc
I have a set of the synthesizers, but so far none of the
ebay buyers actually want them, they just want the
"rare" radio... which I can't afford one to go with my
external boxes because it has been deemed rare
and collectable.
