[R-390] Fair Radio Sales Nostalgia Pics

[Tom Norris]

Back in the early '90's an acquaintance of mine went up to Fair Radio  
to pick up an R-390.  They let him pick one out of the stack while he  
waited for them to give it a quick check.  He had his camera with him  
and took a photo tour of their old store.

I wish I'd taken mine when I went up there later.  He missed the Back  
Building.  Back then there were pallet upon pallet stacked 4 high of  
R-390A's from the St Julien's Creek DRMO sale.  Yep, the poor little  
Blue Stripers.  I'd gone up just to see if they were as bad as folks  
were saying....
(and to pick up a couple)  They even had a couple of T-368's left  
back in the mid to late '90's.
You might hear some of the older folks wax nostalgic about Command  
Sets, but I miss the old days of inexpensive R-390(*)'s.

If no one has been up there, it may still be worth the trip.  The old  
place was,  I've not seen their new and improved store - maybe  
someone will  chime in...
