What was particularly special about 5827806047 that it finaled at $2,011? 
Yeah, it looks like a very clean EAC '67 or so, but what am I missing?  The 
description is very positive, but brief -- nothing very special there. 
Photos look fine, but none of the top.

Something to do with Fair no longer offering R-390A's, perhaps?

Difficult to analyze the bidding history for possible two-way bidding war as 
the ID's were private on this one.

The R-390A did look exceptionally clean. I wonder if maybe the "audio" people 
are now discovering the R-390A? Maybe they are getting tired of looking at 
their $5000 -  15 watt per channel 6B4 triode audio amplifiers and decided they 
can do better with their money on a top-of-the-line vacuum tube receiver? 
What's next, $250 double-shielded oxygen-free copper linecords for the R-390A? 73
