Very similar experience. Worked at Long Beach Naval shipyard shop
67/pier 2 in the late '60s after a marvelous SE Asian Vacation.
R390/R390A receivers came by the pallet load then through a 'class B
overhaul'. Module mix and match, field mods installed etc then out the
door. The R1051 was coming in for use with UCC1-V tone diversity
multiplex so the '390s were on the way out except for sig intercept.
Remember the vernier on the vfo?? Eastern Block tone diversity?
