[R-390] Need EAC-sized nameplate, will trade?

[Jerry K]

If anybody is interested in seeing it, here's the old '54 Motorola depot 
dawg being smoke tested on the workbench (sans new EAC nameplate, which 
will be forthcoming). I went with black on this one, in fact the same 
semi-matte black used on HK firearms). Amazingly, after initial 
reassembly and a few fresh tubes, it actually passed signals on most 
bands, despite having several slug racks replaced from a donor receiver. 
I was shocked, as I expected it to be re-born totally deaf. However, 
there is no AGC, the 8 KHz filter has serious losses, and Lord knows 
what else I haven't noticed yet. Anyway, the grunt work is done, now the 
fun part can begin! Life is good.
