[R-390] Shock mount update

[Paul Staupe]

Thanks Steve,

I was amazed to see that these NOS mounts appear to be identical to the
ones I have on my existing CY-979A/URR cabinet.  Leave it to Surplus Sales
to find a cache of 50 year old mounts!  I ordered four of them, so will let
you know when they arrive.

Next question... anyone know of where I could find skids to mount the shock
mounts on?  I can probably get some fabricated, but it should would be nice
to find some NOS ones!

73,

Check out Surplus sales of Nebraska - they just purchased a lot of NIB
mounts similar to the original Barry & Lord mounts that are rated for 40lbs
ea. - the price per mount is listed at $12.

They also list other Barry mounts - make sure the mount is rated for 35lbs
like the originals.
Looks like a good deal to me - if I needed some for my CY-979 cab I would
pick some up..
