Thanks for the information Mike! Sounds as though you have one that went  
through a depot overhaul. Nothing wrong with that though!

I have a  R390A with a Teledyne plate #3776 of that contract.  I have owned
it  for about 12 years, it has a Cosmos PTO, a Capehart power supply and  a
Teledyne IF unit.  I have removed the IF unit to replace the bad  "brown
beauties" , used a spare EAC IF unit.  Works great and has  original meters
with "International" name on them.

Also have a  Capehart with meters and Cosmos PTO and Amelco power supply,
traded it from  a friend that had it for about 20 years.
