[R-390] Display covers wanted

[Barry Hauser]

Hi Tom & list ...

I have one of those, but need it for certain unspecified purposes, so not 
for sale.

However, I can offer you the official NSA replacement solution which made 
those flip up jobbies obsolete.

It's called R-390/R-390A/R-391/R-392 High Security Blackout Barrier and 
supplied in rolls 3/4" inch by various yardages.  It's made of special high 
opacity black polymer vinyl with a self adhesive backing and is tamper 
resistant.  You simply cut the proper length and apply to the counter 
window.

Oh, when you take delivery, you may notice printing on the inside of the 
spool that says "3M", "Scotch", "Tuck Tape", or something like "Yangtse 
Electrical Tape", or maybe even "Walgreens" or "Walmart's Own Brand". 
Ignore that -- diversionary countermeasure, y'know.  You can hide it in 
plain sight.

How many rolls do you want?  heh heh

OK, maybe that's some just ol' plain tomfoolery, oops -- sorry -- in this 
case,  barryfoolery.  But here's the real deal:

I've decided to put together several kits to upgrade R-390's to R-390H(S). 
H is for "hidden", S is for "secret".

Depending on level of the kit, this simply disguises your R-390(A) to look 
like a modern Sharp brand microwave oven, or provides full digital control 
through the modified microwave control panel.  Rack mount or full cabinet 
models.  Prices range from $799 to $4,999, excluding the R-390(A) which is 
user-supplied.

You can get a preview look at
http://www.sharp.co.za/products/microwaves/brochures/R-390H.pdf#search='sharp%20r390%20microwave%20oven'

The full autotune model lets you just tap in the frequency on what look like 
oven controls.  Mating motor drives turn the MC & KC shafts and the unit 
continously OCR scans the Veeder Root counter until the frequency matches 
the desired one.  You can store up to 4000 frequencies and there is full 
timer control.

Security?  The glass in the front is very dark and a secret key press 
combination blanks the digital readout.

No kiddin'
