[R-390] Unused EAC R-390A, Question on Packing

[DJED1 at aol.com]

The tech manual shows the radio packed with an inner cardboard carton which 
 has flaps that fold over the face of the radio.  It shows cardboard tubes  
over the knobs, with the face then covered by a plywood sheet and another  
cardboard tray which holds dessicant.
The whole thing is then wrapped in a  waterproof barrier, then into another 
cardboard box.  Finally, all is  packed, along with spares, into a wood 
crate.  
I did buy an Amelco  R-390A from Dames in that time period.  Mine was not 
new , but excellent  and lightly used.  It had a few minor mars to the paint 
which would  indicate some use, but it was pristine inside, and all modules 
are  original.  
The EAC is probably worth a lot if really BNIB.
