[R-390] Test Image

[JOS K1JOS]

Hi Jacques,

I bought it about 17 years ago from a real nice fellow, Bruce Findley,
Meadville, Pa. .  He acquired a huge electronics warehouse which included
hundreds of R-390A.  Mine was one of the last from EAC 1967, almost new in
box. He sold mostly by word of mouth but several years later I saw he was
selling spare R-390 parts on Ebay.  I haven’t seen him on Ebay for some time
now. 

I am embarrassed to admit but the EAC is still unused, packed up in a
temp/humidity controlled space.  I have a Collins R-390A and R-390 for > 20
years in a rack that I use almost daily.   I do have a goal to get the EAC
up and running this year since I retired (for the 3rd time) a year ago and
I'm catching up !  Only issue is I started up with astrophotography which is
even more time consuming than radio repair.  Old men with too many toys....

Best
Jerry NY2KW

I received a 1.4 M image - but boy, sure is a pretty receiver! Worth every
byte.
