[R-390] Cost Reduction....and Knobs...

[Bill Hawkins]

John,

I scanned, OCR'd and cleaned up the text of a copy of the report
(stamped by Mil-Spec Electronics) about 10 or 15 years ago. I
believe it went into the collection of 39x lore. No coins were
collected for the effort. I had my first 390A and was hooked by
the beauty of the beast.

That copy did not have the fold out pages containing the detailed
cost comparisons. Does your manual have those pages?

I note it is listed as "Final"...and if I have it it must be available
and in different formats on the web...Note that in the blank area after
the "Period Covered"...there is no entry...

owned by me),...are all you would EVER want or need....
