[R-390] Mint condition R-390A

[Tisha Hayes]

The hamfest article implies that the photos are for a radio "like" the one
being auctioned off, I doubt that it is the same radio. The other clue was
"one of these".

There were some factory-specials;  I have the IF deck from one of those
(with factory original ceramic filters). I would expect that maybe the only
special R-390A's were those of original Collins vintage. When it became a
"winner take all" bid for mass production I doubt that the small suppliers
had anything to do with custom-engineering.

My super R-390A has the ceramic IF deck and the squelch facility (built the
squelch system myself from one of the articles).
