[R-390] SPECIAL R390A PANEL (6kc & 8kc)

[Tom Norris]

What about also doing a small panel with the markings screened onto it?
Panel you say? What is Tom talking about? Well, something similar to the
blank panel the R-725 has on the selectivity position, but with a hole
for the filter switch. Circular or rounded edge square, take the nut off
the switch shaft and put the plate on, covering the original markings for
those of us with either engraved or silkscreened panels You know how
cheap some of us out here are! hehe

Probably mean making another screen though. :-(

Of course the $135 for an entire isn't bad.
