[Les Locklear]

Here is the list of Contract Numbers for the R-390/URR and the R-391/URR. This is from older correspondence with Tom Marcotte, and might not be up to date on some information, such as high serial number reported.

  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...
