[R-390] 1967 EAC with SSB modification Photos

[TChirhart]

I loaded some images of the EAC R-390A that found its way home with me a
couple weeks ago as reported on the reflector.  I did receive various email
responses to my inquiries that gave me some thoughts on the history behind
this particular receiver, but it does not appear to be one of the Mexican
military receivers.  The additional front plate looks to be professionally
manufactured.  I will load additional photos shortly. As I mentioned in
previous emails, the nomenclature plate has the S/N engraved and the letter
"A" stamped to the right of it which indicates that the letter was hand
stamped into the plate. Thanks to all that sent emails and particularly to
Les Locklear for taking time to provide scans of photos and some potential
sources of information on this particular receiver.  I hope to have more
time to go into this receiver in depth once the honey-do’s subside.
Has anyone out there in R-390 land seen a similar EAC in this configuration?
Thanks 73 Tom K4NCG
