As you all know, I really like the R-390As.  But, is the 'Fowler Factor'
that much of a benefit.  I already have 2 390As in very good condition, and
of course I always need another, but even if I had tons of money I don't
think I'd spring for it.  Even so, I hope it sells for it.

I'm getting tired of being restricted but will endure till the crisis is
over with.   Thank goodness for the internet and package delivery.  Please
wear a face mask when going out and stay safe.

Regards, Larry
