[R-390] RARE R-1247 NASA version of R-390A

[Tom Bridgers]

Yep, I'm guilty also of removing the extra stuff from my R-1247 and
"converting" it to a standard R-390-A.  It really did not work all that well
before I converted it, and seemed to work better afterwards.  This was at
least 8 years ago, but at least I kept the extra relays, extensions for the
pto, 17mhz osc and bnc connections and so forth.  So I can restore it to its
R-1247 state.

My problem is this:  my radio didn't have the R-1247 tag.  Anyone out there
have a R-1247 tag they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable amount of
wampum, beads, or cold cash?
Thanks,
-tom
