[R-390] ebay NOS r-390A 160417472738

[William J. Neill]

I remember those ads as well as those of Columbia Radio Supply (I  
think that was the name of the outfit).  I clipped a lot of them for  
reference purposes and they're buried with all of boxed technical  
manuals and Hollow State newsletters.

The only hint I have is a Ted Dames ad clipped from an old QST.  I   
clipped
it because it offers R-390As just as I I bought from Ted in the  early
'70s.  In the ad, he offers "excellent overhauled" radios for $595,   
which is
what I purchased. In the ad, he also offers "factory new sealed  box  
(3 only)"
for $1150.  So there is some provenance for the Ebay  radio.  Thought I
can't date the clipping, it assuredly is from the '70s,  when R-390  
prices were
high.
