Paul and others:

Howard Mills, well known as a re-builder of "Black Collins Radios", is able 
to provide a BLACK front panel with white lettering for the R-390A.  His 
panels are NOT-"engraved" (stamped) but are silk screened.  Some time ago 
he offered these at $150 exchange (plus $ if your panel needs additional 
work to get it in shape for later re-finishing). You send him your panel, 
and he sends you one already done.  If you send him a stamped panel, I 
think he plans to fill in the stamping and then silk-screen the lettering 
when he does another batch.

I don't know if he has gray or not. An email or phone call to him will tell:
