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

[Barry]

Not exactly defending the seller, but that may be original.  Some of the
frames were Alodined with a gold tint.  The last couple of R390As I worked
on, I had the frame parts Alodined (or whatever other chromate conversion
they happened to have as Alodine is a brand name) and I asked for them to be
done with a slight gold tint.  I think it looks kind of nice as it matched
the original coating better than just clear.
