[R-390] modified R390A

[DJED1 at aol.com]

Interesting- I remember talk on the reflector about a mythical R-390A with  
an LED readout, but I never heard of anyone who had actually seen one.  Any  
idea how it worked? Too bad you got rid of it, it would probably be worth a  
fortune now! 
I still have my original Ted Dames radio.  He was one of  the first to offer 
surplus R-390As at a "reasonable" price. Some of the dealers  were asking for 
$2000 for a refurbished surplus radio.  I paid Dames $700  for radio and 
cabinet, which translates to about $3500 in today's dollars.   It is an Amelco, 
with all Amelco modules, and was little used when I got  it.
