[R-390] Fair Radio R-392's

[mfisch at kent.edu]

I got two R-392's  several years ago without meters and found a 
surplus meter that fit and seems to work about right.  The dial looks 
different- but I'm certain I could make a new one if needed.  If 
memory serves me there is a picture on the Net.  The insides of both 
were very clean.
