[R-390] Fowler R-390a

[Les Locklear]

As far as I know, three exist. S/n 1, 2 and one with an unknown serial number. Serial numbers 1 and 2 have the Fowler mylar stickers on the chassis', the unknown serial number has all of the chassis' marked with a stencil. All modules match as far as the same type of components on all three of them. The one on E-Bay was serial number 2 that was in the Electric Radio Issue 72 April, 1995. The "unknown" one was in another Electric Radio article that I don't have handy, it was written by the owner Paolo Viappiani.

  Hi everyone.

  I am enquiring as to what happened to the 5 Fowler R-390a receivers when they were de-commed from the USN??. I know one appeared on ebay a few years ago and attracted a lot of attention.

  Any information would be very much appreciated, this is purely interest only.

  Regards

  Rob
