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

[chacuff at cableone.net]

And to answer the question you asked and no one has answered yet is Yes Fair Radio Sales sells repop tags.  

 

Just need to know if you have the wide spaced mounting holes or the more narrow spaced version.  I think the narrow is more common.  I think the wides were mostly Motorola...but I may have that wrong...



Thanks,

Hi Cecil --

 Yes it has that stamping. On the top right (as viewed from the rear) is a 5/8" square with a bird and 3 stars over the bird. Are reproduction tags available?

Thanks for the info,
Kevin.

It can usually be identified by markings on the rear panel.  On the Collins modules you may notice a stamping that is a square with a bird....that was used by Collins. If there is one of those on the rear panel it's a pretty good bet it was built by Collins.
