[R-390] One more foolishly overpriced item

[John Page]

The same guy that has the speaker also has an "Collins R-390A" . It even 
says so on the counterfiet
name tag that ilooks like the ones that Fair radio sells. There is one on 
the R-390A that I got from them 4 years ago and it is identical to his. John
