My r-390a that I got in early 90's is a Motorola, 14-phila-56 with a sn about 900 or so, I need to look at the label. It has a tag on the back from the ASA.

Andy,

I left the Army Security Agency in 1975.
I knew that  at least 5,000 receivers were still in use operating 24 x 7 and no end in sight.

I had been training the maintenance manpower to keep them all operating while an instructor at Ft Devens. in 72 - 73

We did not care what the date was on the TM 11 5820 - 358 - 35 My 61 copy on the shelf is marked superseded in 72.
It may or may not have been. 
It may have just been  marked up to get it out of the building.

We did keep the latest copy of the parts manual (also very marked up with changes) on the counter at the parts department window.

Roger
