[R-390] Classified Equipment

[James A. (Andy) Moorer]

I have read the discussion on classification with interest. Perhaps 
someone can opine on a companion question: does anyone know when the 
R-390A was first offered to the public? When I was a kid, we knew all 
about the Hammarlund "super-pro" receivers and gazed upon them with 
great longing, but I never heard of an R-390-series receiver until the 
late 60's. Even if they weren't classified, they sure weren't well-known 
in that era.
