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

[Barry]

American Trans Coil offered (offers?) wiring harnesses like that.  I bought
one because I wanted the connectors and it was cheaper than buying them from
Fair Radio.  Also, I got some extra wire of the right look-n-feel along with
some clamps, etc.  I guess they figured whoever bought the front panel would
want the pots and switches more than whoever bought the harness, but I'm
sure it was an economic issue.  It takes time to disassemble the equipment
from the front panel.  Also, either you have to unsolder the wires from the
back panel or clip them.  If clipped neatly, there's plenty of wire to make
new connections.

Oh well, what'reyagonnado...
