[R-390] $5k R390A on E-Pay

If its the same radio I'm thinking of, I know it well.

It was one of 2 brand new EAC R390A's I have.  This one came with a 
Delta Electronics, Solid State SSB adaptor/Sync Detector
and a cabinet built to fit both.

There is a picture on my old site, its the first radio at the top/right 
hand side of the page.

I ran it with my Collins 20V-2 for several years.  The receiver was 
very, very sensitive and if memory serves me, the serial number was 
something over 10,000.

Sort of an update; this could not have happened intentionally if I had 
planned it.  The web-hosting company where the R390A www site was kept 
folded.  A week later the motherboard for computer which held the 
backups
failed.   The USCG has had and has me very busy at USCG CAMSLANT but I'm 
hoping that will slow down just a bit.

I haven't restored a radio in a couple years but will be throwing the 
shingle out officially soon.  Un-officially, I'm ready to start 
restoring today.  I really miss workling on them.

Re-subscribing to this list was a good first step.
