[R-390] Rolling your own R-390A

[Radiograveyard at aol.com]

Thanks to the e place you guys are seeing what the auto salvage (junkyard) 
business has been doing for decades. Many cars are worth more dead than alive, 
the sum of the parts is more than the saleable price of the whole. It is a pity 
these "sellers" are chopping up history in search of the buck but then that's 
what makes things rare and collectable. The flip side is they give so others 
may live (organ doners). Over the years I have found with radios and cars you 
are better off starting with a complete unit rather than some hulk and usually 
you still need something. Pete
