[R-390] What happened to all the NOS parts?

[Barry]

I still think there's a box of 100,000 #8-36 Bristol-drive set screws
somewhere besides the bottom of the ocean.

> With around 60,000 R-390s and R-390As having been manufactured, the
government had to have tons of NOS parts setting in their warehouses. Were
these parts sold for scrap, trashed or still in strorage (hopefully)
somewhere?
