[R-390] OT - The $225 dollar Collins Headphones - The Seller Responds

[Tom Norris]

Remember the "Collins" headphones that sold for so much over the  
weekend at auction? ( Item 5803139305 or http://tinyurl.com/8h3dh )   
I kindly and politely asked the seller what model number was listed  
on the ID tag. My reason was they looked like H-251A/U but they had a  
phone plug on the end, and I was wondering what model might they be.  
That's all I wanted to know, I didn't criticize him on his price,  
nothing like like that.

Here is his reply.

"collins never made any headset or mic from their shacks, they gave  
subcontract to other companies. headset was never assign to one  
single one, any headset close to 600 ohms works with r390a. do you  
know which one was assigned to r390a by the us army manual? if you do  
not know, you have to go back to study this radio again!!!!! i know  
the answer:) Ha ha ha."

So guys, who *is* "findcollinsradio" ?
He seems like such a nice guy.
