"Also I'm sure that certain units went to embassies/spy agencies/military
contractors etc. and might have been maintained outside the depot
system. But I'm guesstimating that these numbers are in the very very
low percent."
I think this underestimates the numbers employed during the Cold War in
"elephant cage" and other arrays surrounding the Soviet Union (and China),
from
Norway to Turkey to Yemen to Thailand to South Korea, etc. etc. rooms and
rooms
with walls full of them in all the allies. Also rx's sold to the three-letter
agencies of allies in the sixties. But others on this list can better estimate
that field of employment of the R-390A.
And by the way, the sun is shining today: I just found a working 56-contract
Motorola for $120 while today on German e-bay a nice Capehart sold for $2500.
