[R-390] {Collins} 390A Identification Needed

[Roy Morgan]

Bob,
(Replying to his post to the Collins list.):

Indeed the R-390A’s were made with two different sized name plates.

I have forwarded this reply to you also to the R-390 mailing list.  Someone there will no doubt have your answer off the top of their head.  Yes someone did at one time make replacement plates, but I’m not sure who or whether they may still be available.

I will wait for replies, and help further if I can.

Roy
