[R-390] Ebay Searches

[Barry]

Don't forget about Craigslist.  I have had some luck there.  I happened on a local R390 with two nearly full sets of spare tubes and several original manuals at a great price and didn't have to ship it.  I also found a 2B from another state and the fellow happened to be travelling to my hometown within a few weeks of listing it.  He delivered it right to my work location for free as it is just right off the interstate he was travelling on.

It does happen.
