[R-390] Roll Call

[universal_comm at reagan.com]

I'm here, ( mostly)
 
I read the mail always and appreciate all that post their observations.
I still have my Halli, National stuff but am a Collins collector since teaching the R390A in the Navy. 
That does not make me an expert in the radio, but only serves to make me dangerous.
I have my 51J3, R389, R390, 5 each R-390A and a basket case R391
My shop (repair bench) is a shambles since moving to Illinois but intend getting it set up this winter.
 
Cant wait to start tinkering. I will start with the R390A radios as that will be the easiest as I am more familiar and one is a Rick Mish rebuild, one I resurrected, and 2 are from Viet Nam with the 10 turn pots in place of the bfo knob.  The 5th R-390A I am not sure of its status.  "Time will tell.
Thanks all
