[R-390] blue striper

[rbethman]

The "Blue-Striper" term comes from the St. J's HUGE pile of R-390/R-390As.

They had a characteristic stripe of spray paint in the color blus down 
the front of their panels.

They indeed were to be scrapped, BUT were not unrepairable.

There are still some to be had, and I obtained one that is being restored.
