[R-390] OT - Bride of The Overpriced R-390

[Barry Hauser]

Looks like a good deal -- but a bit suspicious.  House looks way too neat --  
no room for boatanchors, so probably _would_ have to give 'em all up.

Hmmmm... contract date '57 -- that's 48 yrs old?  Doesn't look it (more like 
28 or less) -- how old are the photos?  All original equipment?  Matching 
modules or some repro/synthetics?  (Maybe depot overhauls and high 
maintenance.  A typical R-390A needs maybe $50 worth of recapping, 10 cents 
worth of Mobil One every 20 years.  This one might need Botox etc. every six 
months, couple of cruises -- I dunno.  Hmmm...  100% Norwegian -- is that 
real blond or a refinish job?)

Missing some info -- what about feedback?  Private -- right?  Also should 
indicate altitude as some might have difficulty breathing.

Seriously, though -- probably some kind of scam after the mark fills out the 
"bid" form.  You'd be better off bidding on a radio that looks/sounds too 
good to be true -- potential damage is limited.

Of course, if it's the real deal, I'm outta here ... 'cept for the $600 
grand part...  and I don't meet most of the specs.  Nevermind, it's some 
kind of scam.
