[R-390] r390

[Cecil Acuff]

I disagree with Mr. Mish.  The R-390/URR is more reliable than the R-390A in 
it's as delivered form.  Even after an overhaul you still have the 
mechanical filters that age and fail.  I would guess his reasoning to be 
more a one of him having access to the "A" and wanting to make a sale.

I also don't believe the "E" place to be a bad choice...it's more one of 
being careful of the seller.  I've sold two there that I have restored and 
the buyers had no problems at all.

I currently have one pulled apart for restoration that is to be sold but it 
will probably be a few months before it's ready due to all the other work 
that's piled up in the shop right now.

If you could find one on the list it would probably be the best of 
choices...
