[R-390] R-392 market prices and availability

[Thomas Chirhart]

I bought a Collins R-392 with T-195B with mounting tray several years ago at a local hamfest for $300. They were rebuilds from Tobyhanna that were never put back in service. I haven't had a chance to play grunt radio op yet. Need to take up weightlifting before I put them on the bench! It takes an Army.....73 Tom K4NCG

Like most demiled equipment the examples that showed up later had the the meters and knobs removed and some were sold with replacement meters.  I prefer the ones with the original meters and 1960 era contract dates.
