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!!

They run less than the A version and I don't know why! I have a 390
and have a 390A on the way in it's original case. I gave 650 for the A
model and 350 for the standard 390.

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.
