[R-390] clock

[Dan Merz]

Scott, my first thought was to adapt one of the analog black face wrist
watches to a defunct meter case but there may be a problem with accessing
the setting controls.   Since future value has been mentioned,  perhaps you
should look for a Russian tank clock smaller than those currently listed on
ebay.  I'm sure when this radio surfaces later, after you sell it, in a
listing, there would be considerable speculation and interest in a
one-of-a-kind radio that was mysteriously linked to the other side by the
Russian tank clock.   I would offer that filling the hole with an
interesting clock might not necessarily decrease the value of a radio with
an otherwise empty hole.    In any case,  we know that all radios sold from
the likes of us are offered with complete documentation on all mods so at
least the next future potential buyer would have nothing to fear when he saw
the clock !!!  Of course,  he or she might prefer an original meter and
offer you even less than the bargain price that you put on the receiver.
Best regards,  Dan.

Has anyone installed a clock in their R-390x? I am thinking of installing
one in the VU meter hole and thought I would ask if anyone has done it or
given any thought to it.
