[R-390] Re: CV-89A

[W. Li]

This year the Puyallup hamfest just outside of Seattle
was well attended. Strangely enough there was a beat
up R-390A for $385... but the big surprise was all the
SuperPro-type receivers there... maybe 6 or 7.

Aside from little stuff, for $10 I got a pristine
CV-89A FSK Converter. have no idea what I will do with
it, but is was squeaky clean with all 17 tubes and
IERC shields (and a 2BP1 CRT with a mu-shield) and
lots of neat transformers. It looks too cool to
dismantle for parts, so maybe it'll just be a
conversation piece, stuck in the rack that I'll get
one day *real* soon for my 390A's.

Did pick up a nice Tek 1cps-1mHz generator for $15. I
happen to like Tek blue in my shop.......
