[R-390] PING! (Tisha Hayes, AA4HA)

[John Flood]

 Not Dead Yet...  but there is always next week.  Only one R-390 family member running here right now.  The R-725 pre-production /prototype unit I found up here many years ago.  Most of the others I had were delivered to other people here in New England who had more time than I do!  My son calls these "Oh God" radios 'cuase thats what he says when he helps me lift them into the rack!.  He coined that phrase when helping me take a TCS RX from a friend.  He is a 6'1" 17 year old football player so i laughed and asked him if i should carry it.  He said no but wondered why something so small could be so heavy.  All BA gear are now "Oh God" radios.  
I have a friend in Maine looking for a complete R-390A that he can bring back to life or even better if it's working.  He is a retired Navy guy so cant pay E-Bay prices.  Anyone here in the northeast that can help me find him a radio?
