I got this R390 about 15 years ago, and know I will not get the time to fix 
it up, so I think its time to let somebody else try it.

serial number 1693 order 14214-PH-51-93
engraved panel, pretty good but with paint wear through around tuning knob
both meters seem to work
top cover
knobs need repaint
gear train looks pretty clean with just some grease

Just checked it out on about 6 bands, hears my 8640B gen at about 2 
microvolts.  If the RF gain is turned full up then it oscillates.  The power 
supply regulator was fixed by me about 5 years ago with some bad caps 
replaced.  I think it is still working as the reg tubes glow orange.  All 
the tubes checked OK, I'm sure some of the capacitors need replacing.

I don't have much time to do more checking, I can take some pictures if 
there is interest.  I don't really want to pack and ship this, so a pick-up 
or delivery from the Louisville, KY area is preferred.

I don't know the price for something like this as I checked Ebay and found 
nothing.
