[R-390] Dayton Boatanchors

[DJED1 at aol.com]

I visited Fair while I was out there, and got a tour  from Gary, who rebuilds 
their R-390As.  They have a limited stock  of carcasses, and Gary is saving 
any good modules to satisfy his rebuilding  program.  He's even rebuilding 
filters to keep up with demand.  But  what you will get from Fair as "repairable" 
is a blue striper, without meters,  and definitely in need of some repair.  On 
the other hand, I think Gary  puts in a whole lot of work to create a 
"checked" unit, and it only costs a  couple of hundred more.  But my choice would be 
to cruise Dayton first- the  radios looked in much better shape cosmetically.
