[R-390] Black 390A's

[Barry Hauser]

How about black with gray pinstripes -- goes nice with a red tie, uh, red 
meters and counter.  This was the rare Hart, Schaffner and Marx version, 
sub-sub contracted through Helga Rubenstern.  Requires a trip to the 
Boatanchor Emporium & Habberdashery Ltd. as follows ...

Knobs, of course, are gentleman's black -- spit-shined courtesy of 
Florsheim. Optional water repellant cover by Burberry. (sp?)  No?, OK here's 
a more affordable one from London Fog.  Need socks?  They go over the knobs 
to protect the finish.  Can I interest you in a nice pair of 500 lb rated 
suspenders?  Your receiver will be even more snazzy hanging from the 
ceiling.  Makes a real statement  -- you do have 2 X 8's in the ceiling? 
Shock mounted so it protects your ballast tube and sensitive filaments --  
not to mention optimum ventilation unsurpassed by any other method.  Let's 
see now -- did you have the R-390 or R-390A?  As I recall, one dresses 
right, the other dresses left.
