The missing antenna really is a shame. I got the thing at an
estate sale with a bunch of other stuff - my only interest in
the radio was fixing it if it wasn't working, but it works
fine. I would have loved to see that big antenna. The hole
in the cabinet where the antenna goes suggests that it is huge,
as you say.

Yes, the antenna had to have a wide diameter, since it wasn't very deep, it
needed many segments to telescope out to its 8 feet or so of height. ISTR I
could set my Mohican on the floor and the antenna tip still brushed the
ceiling. It was impressive.
About like a tube Zenith Trans-O, maybe even longer, and more rugged.

Sorry to hear your set worked right off the bat and spoiled your fun :-) :-)
Now if someone would swap their "no fun" R390A for my "tons o' fun" version ...
