[R-390] Unknown R-390 model

[Joseph Grossbauer]

I have an R-1981 at home, again assuming this is the beast we are talking
about.  I will check the modules and see what I can come up with.  I got
this as part of a big surplus crate that was being disposed of and bought it
from the guy who bought the crate.  One of those rare deals costing me less
than 3 figures.  I remember that all the modules matched and everything
inside seemed like new though the front plate and sides were somewhat beat
up from being dumped in this crate.  Turned out to be a GREAT radio right
out of the box (crate), guess I need to pull it out from storage and fire
this baby up.

Hi

Actually to get really picky about it, they were made by Manson and  
then later by Halicrafters after Halicrafters bought out Manson.
