Ahhh- the old days. I bought four '591s from the Government for $35 each. I sold them all off for maybe $100 each because they didn't fit in well with my desk cabinet R-390A, and the performance wasn't that great. Sure sorry I didn't hang onto them to help fund my retirement. On the other hand, I still haven't broken even on my R-390A. In 1973 I paid $700, which might be equivalent to $3K today. It's still a keeper tho.

I don't remember now what I paid for mine. It would have been a LOT less
that. OTOH it was so much less because I'm pretty sure I bought it within
The Yellowsheets! Those were the days!

Ed, you'll love the 591A. I bought one years ago and a spare last year.
Only 2 downsides:
1. The audio still needs an amp to boost the output and 2. the price! I have
seen them for over $500....
enjoy!

Hi there..
In the small pieces of spare time I finaly completed reading book caled
"Blind man's bluff" on the topic of cold war use submarines for spying and
radio intercepting.
My interest is on following topic: it is possibile that in cold war years
some R390A receivers are instaled on submarines?
Every kind of details on this topic will be wery interesting for me and
perhaps all other R390A users and current owners..
73!

And isn't that an SSB converter just above it? And what is the receiver
highest above that?

Awesome! Interesting! I thought it looked familiar! I have a CV-591
downstairs, and plan to connect it to my 'A when I get my station back
together-sometime next year.
