[R-390] ebay r390a auction...

[Tom Bridgers]

Fellow Anchorites,
Here's what I think.  The fact that the headline read "Collins Receiver"
when in fact it was a "Stewart-Warner" receiver was misleading.  You didn't
find out until about half-way down his text that it was a S-W.  Was it a
Collins designed receiver? Yes.  But was it a Collins manufactured receiver?
No.  His lead-in and most of what he said led you to believe it was a
Collins.  But it wasn't.  It was a S-W.
My  $.02 worth.  YMMV.
73's,
-tom
