   Since I'm the 'point man' here - I wish to clarify that my initial 
comments about the eBay auction (before I knew who the Seller actualy 
was/is) were regarding what I thought was (and is) some distorted 'hype' 
about the relative rarity of this particular radio - and especially the 
statement to the effect that "only two have been sold on eBay in 'recent 
years' " one by Mr. Acuff himself.

    As to the radio itself - it looks quite clean, and I have been assured 
that it is more complete than the average 390 -  I must of course take 
y'alls word on that - all I can do is look at the pictures - this is why I 
asked about the internal covers.  It has been pointed out that I missed 
the part in the text referring to them.

   As this issue is on the verge of being beaten to death - my final 
comment is that I maintain my opinion that the 'ad copy' was/is misleading 
- any other attributes of the radio itself must be discovered by the 
individual interested in purchasing same.

   I already got a couple, and an old beater of an R-388 to keep 'em 
company.


   Cheers
