[R-390] R-389 Adventure

[Bernie Doran]

I spoke to Rick a week or two ago and he said that he gets in some that are 
only a parts source and too far gone to restore. condition is very 
important, apparently more than I expected.  He is doing a SW for me now, 
says it is the best one he has seen for five or six years and may have been 
a lab rx. I expect it about the tenth of April.  Bernie W8RPW

I'm sure it started out very nice - it is otherwise extremely
difficult to do.  Recall that Norm's R-390 also started out in a very
untouched pristine state, as well.  From when I can tell, for example
Rick Mish's restorations, the best ones start out from very good
examples.
