[R-390] My next restoration project--EAC 390A

[Bob Weiss]

Threw a lowball offer at a scruffy looking but apparently complete EAC 
unit on eBay, and the seller accepted. Looks fully restorable, but will 
know better when I pick it up over the weekend.

The nametag has the standard nomenclature, but also the "EAC rocket" 
logo, and Red Bank NJ location, which I haven't seen on most EACs. Is 
this one of the units that was a production overrun or built to use up 
spare parts from a contract, and sold into the civilian market? Paint on 
the knobs looks like it has seen a lot of use, more than a typical 
hamshack/SWL would likely dish out.
