So far - that leaves Sherry's as the oldest -
Collins Radio Company Order No 14214-P-51   Manual Date 23 
October 1953

I know there are lists of contract dates for the 390As - 
anyone have the dates for the 390? Sherry's 391 tag has 
Order No. 14214 -P-51-93 - S/N 70 -- so her's is from that 
order - there is an "MFP 1960" stamp on the front panel - 
and a date stamped inside of 10-23-1953. BTW - Sherry's 
"issue date" is 10/23/53 as well...  which might well 
explain the zero.zero chance of getting it away from her...

The S/N of the 391 I had was 356  - but unfortunately I 
didn't note the contract number (it was sold to Trans World 
Radio on Guam in 1975 - along with quite a bit of Teletype 
gear It might still be on the Island - though I doubt it's 
still in use as a RTTY receiver).

best regards...
