[R-390] CY-979A/URR cabinets

[Heinz Breuer DH2FA]

Although today is April Fool's Day I can not imagine that Mac would make 
such a joke. The price seems to be in the ballpark and he is offering 
new cabinets not new receivers (unfortunately!).

If he had offered the 5 new and still sealed Fowler R-390A receivers 
with seriell numbers #6 to #10 which were secretly built back in 1984 as 
replacements just in case that the military had any problems with sn #1 
to #5 I would have been suspicious.
