[R-390] Need a RF slug for a R-390A

I know they're not interchangeable with the IF slugs, but I thought all RF 
slugs were interchangeable.  I know when I rebuilt at least one of my RF 
decks, I removed all racks, holders, triangular slug holders, etc., cleaned 
them all, and re-assembled them in no particular order.  I didn't notice any 
degradation of performance but ...
