A while back I posted about a few radios I received from an SK estate
some time back, here's an update along with a story. The part about
the odds are for those
Lets say there were 2 R-390s and a '390A in semi regular use [wild
guess about two decades ago] by an older ham, then were put into
storage - along with a semi-gutted "parts" R-390A - when the fellow
became too ill to use them.
If these radios were to come out of storage --
What are the odds that 3 out of 4 would have a problem of some sort?
What are the odds that 3 out of 4 would have a problem in the *same*
deck?
What are the odds of that problem being of the sort that would
require the
radio to be pretty much completely disassembled?
Question --
Which radio is working, worked off the bat with no major module repair
needed, and is working to this day?

It's a boring afternoon and I wanted to post something.
