[R-390] RE: R-390 Digest, Vol 19, Issue 42

I've had 3 R-390A given to me: an EAC, a Stewart-Warner, and an Amelco.
I bought an R-390 from Rick Mish, and it's a lovely piece of work.

When I was TDY to Osan AB, ROK, I saw all the R-390 (or R-390A) rigs in the
MARS shack being tossed into a dumpster, and couldn't rescue any for myself
because I was leaving the next day and my hold baggage had already gone
out. That *hurt*.

Spare a thought for all us around the other side of the world where R390s
are as rare as hen's teeth! Generally, statesiders aren't willing to crate
stuff for international travel, and we can't afford your prices anyway.

But if anyone's got to find a good home for a workable 390, then send it
here!
