[R-390] no vendor tag: any way to ID vendor?

[Cecil]

I hear you but I see it mostly on the Collins gear and not so much on the others that pass through my shop....not really sure why.

I'm not saying its a Collins stamp (bad choice of words on my part)....but with that stamp and no other identifying markings on the rear panel and mostly Collins modules and a Collins PTO...it all points to being of Collins origin.

At least that has been my experience with Collins chassis that have moved through here.
