Ok, I know this is a real long shot, but I'm looking for a set of the orginal screwdriver and Bristol wrench that were supplied with the R-390 (not R-390A), as-built and delivered to the Governnment.
 
I have spent the last 6 months restoring my Motorola R-390 (with all original modules, etc.), and she's fully completed and looks beautiful. I even have the original 7 and 9-pin Chinese finger-puzzle tube pullers for it, but the final detail is getting her fitted with these tools I'm searching for. My understanding is that the tools were removed and routinely discarded when these receivers went through depot-level maintenance. Some Government technician who used to service these sets must have a boatload of these tools somewhere.............!!!
 
Can anyone out there help?
 
Thanks & Best 73,
 
Bruce, W2XR
