[R-390] Somebody Stop Me!

[William J. Neill]

The smell of the glowing vacuum tubes, the sound of the gears turning  
smoothly, the feel of the band change knob detent giving each turn a  
feel of determination, the warmth emitted by 85 pounds of loving,  
caring radio receiver, the knowledge that fresh kielbasa awaits . . .

A warm R-390(  ) will get you through times of no money better than  
money will get you through times on no R-390(  ) (with thanks the the  
Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers).
