[R-390] Mint condition R-390A

[Don Reaves]

Here's another from my Hall of Shame collection.
Not the pink one (presumably the elusive Helena Rubinstein model) Renee
requested but it does have red accents.

No one should get their knickers in a wad about the auction receiver.   Its
all in fun as I discovered a forgotten EAC R-390A in my shop and this fall
I'll drag it out and get it working.  So, I've had EAC on the brain as of
late.  My EAC certainly won't fall into the category of mint or new in the
box.  It is a blue collar model.  I think this one came from fellow list
member Gary Harmon, but my memory is fuzzy.
