Got a new toy today---the early Collins R-390 (not 'A') receiver.
Looking forward to putting it through its paces...and using it to help
hold down the house during Michigan tornado season! What an arm stretcher!!

That is a real receiver! Just out of curiosity what are they
going for ?

Bought mine locally from an 80 year old that wanted to clean out his
place. On eBay, they seem to be all over the board, anywhere from $600
to $1200.
