I will finally have what is probably going to be the last batch of R-390A tools (Phillips screwdriver and faithful reproduction of the long "L" spline tool) this week.  For those not in the loop, photos and my write-up may be seen here:

Again my spline tool is a faithful reproduction of the original, manufactured from original Collins drawings, and in agreement with an original tool in my possession which was born with a 375-P-54 contract Collins built 390A.  The handle is the correct 5/32" diameter SS rod stock that fits into the holder properly, not 3/16".  


Glenn WA4AOS wrote up a very nice review on these back in April.  


My cost went up slightly on this last batch, and I suspect the market is probably near being saturated.  For these reasons this will probably be the last batch unless I have misjudged demand.  


Price for list members is $40 shipped for the first set, $37 for additional sets if you mail a check/MO.  The remainder will hit ePay for a few bucks more.
