I still have some of the ads from my first search for a R-390A.  My
first 
introduction was an ad by Herbert W Gordon in CQ in 1967.  He was
offering 
"remanufactured" R-390s for only $1985!  Figure what that is in  today's
dollars. 
A column in CQ magazine in 1971 introduced me to the details of  the
radios, 
and by then the offering price by R.E Goodheart was only $995.   I
bought one 
the next year from Ted Dames in NJ for a mere $595, with a CY979  for
another 
$100.  It's an Amelco.  I've yet to break even on what I  paid, but its
been a 
great relationship.  It's still all original, except  for the power 
microswitch, a couple of tubes, and the PTO.
