[R-390] Fowler R-390A on ePay

[Tom M.]

 The one I saw from a certain chap in California was in mint cond.  I've only seen one like that.

 Actually if you’ve ever seen #2 it’s the only one I've seen that qualifies as the holy grail. It’s complete as built and leaves little question. Thanks to Mish there are two #1 s in existence. Both built from parts to make them complete and too many questions about both. If #3 and #5 ever show up we’ll know more.

Just my opinion of course...

Then it ended up at the ”Radiograveyard” (who I know personally) in Ottsville PA and that gentleman is now offering it on ePay for 10 Grand.
