Please accept my apologies for no pricing. In all fairness, as I believe
that this is probably a pretty rare set and I doubt I will run across
another in my lifetime, I would like to accept a trade on this :
EAC R-390A late model cherry set, I would be critical of condition-
original meters, no water or restored pieced together types, etc.I believe
that would be a fair trade and would keep money out of it.But realize that I
have a couple of days time, money and 850 miles of driving involved. So,
that is that, thanks everyone for my intrusion. Byron.
