[R-390] Dirtiest, Greasiest, Most Rusted R390

[Scott Bauer]

Yes,  I believe that I have in my possession the dirtiest, greasiest, 
most rusted R390
that anyone can possibly imagine. There is not one spot that is clean.
 My thoughts tell me this is in worse condition than, or may be a blue 
striper without the
stripe.Were 390's de-commissioned before the A's came out? Inside some 
of the knob
 holes is dark blue paint. The terminal strips and fuse holders are 
broken. The gear train is
binding somewhere. A few of the RF slugs are cracked vertically. All of 
the transformers
are rusted along with the powers supply transformer. The line filter is 
missing and I
dont have a spare.
 I dont believe one should part out radios that are are complete but 
where does one
draw the line? I guess I will see if it works before I do any cosmetics.

 So, does anybody have a working line filter?

 I may have found something keep busy with this winter.
