Cecil  and list:

Actually, the majority of the 10 or 12 that have passed  through my hands  
have been engraved. For a long time I thought there  weren't any silk 
screened  
ones!

I have seen both Collins and  Motorola's with engraved panels, although we  
all know about tag  switching. I have tried to pin down the silk screened 
ones to 
a particular  contract, but unsuccessful so far. I would welcome any help 
from   people with experience in this area!

Good luck on finding that contract, it was probably done at depot level  
rather than in production. I know of probably 20-25 contracts on the R-390A's  
that aren't documented.
