[R-390] R390 (non A) on eBay

[Cecil Acuff]

I sold one several months back as well.  Nice radio worked super.  Redone 
front panel and knobs (by previous owner) and typical problem components 
replaced and full alignment.(by me)  Received over 1000 hits and two bids.

The R-390/URR is much more scarce, more dependable for an old radio and were 
a no cost spared example of period technology.  One would think them to be 
more valuable than the typically restored "A".

I'll be listing another soon that looks very nearly as nice as the recently 
listed "A" that was pulled from Ebay. (I didn't refinish the side panels) 
It will include the correct period cabinet.  All fully restored and working 
as it should with many NOS tubes to support it into the future....(and yes I 
probably have 100+ hours in it..didn't keep track)

We'll see what the free enterprising market does to us.....

Cecil....
