[R-390] Shock mount update

Indeed! Leave it to Mac, W5MC.

A number of years ago, I and many (a few?) others bought NOS (or newly manufactured?) CY-979A cabinets w/shock mounts and skids from Mac. A little later I bought a 51J-4 cabinet from him - the “real one”, with a hinged lid and the appropriately-sized panel cutout on the back.

Both cabinets came wrapped, packaged, and were clearly ”brand new”. Just beautiful.

Disclaimer - >not< cheap! I never knew how Mac came by them or where he is today. He was a big CCA guy back in the day.

Maybe Locklear, Rippel, or Howard, W5HM, who lives nearby, will know the story and provenance of Mac’s “finds” re: R-390A and J-4 cabinets.
