[R-390] R-390 for sale, non "A"

[Tom Frobase]

I have a restored R-390 for sale here in Kemah TX,Collins serial 2250.  The
unit has been in my shack for about 6 months after its restoration.  I am
selling it because a Harris R-590 followed me home from Fair radio in
August and I have a limitation on, boat anchor, room in my shack.

I did not repaint the front panel, it was in very good shape so I chose to
leave the nick and scratches to show where she had been since 1955 when
made.  I have installed my new KITPARTS LLC version of the 185 volt
regulator which is built on an aluminum substrate circuit board.  This
allows the removal of the two gas regulators and the 2 regulating tubes
lowering the overall heat.

It plays nicely, pictures are here http://www.kitparts.com/r-390-2250/
<http://www.kitparts.com/r-390-2250/> It is one of the cleanest R-390's I
have worked on over the years.  I will also include a 4:1 balun adapter for
the balanced antenna input and an adapter from the military connector to a
standard DIN AC power cable.  I would prefer local pickup or if you are not
in a hurry I can deliver it to Orlando.

I am asking $800 for the radio ... best regards ... tom, N3LLL
