[R-390] Another "Close to Perfect" R-390a

[Les Locklear]

Martyn tends to wax poetic about anything that he sells on the E place.

Being a Capehart receiver, it originally came with a Dubrow electronics pto 
which is a conventional (corrector stack) pto like the Collins, Motorola, 
Dubrow and Progressitron. The only other pto manufactured was the Cosmos 
which was of a different design.

Martyn is one seller to steer clear from imho.
