Check out my
Motorola R-390 (Non-A)
Completely Restored by
Miltronix
This fantastically restored R-390 was completed for me by
Rick Mish as part of his recent R-390 project
By cherry-picking modules from his sizable R-390 stock at Miltronix, Rick
has created the ultimate restoration of this classic military receiver. He’s completely washed the individual
modules, reassembled and re-tubed them, added all new IREC heat shields,
repainted and silkscreened the front panel and repainted all the knobs. Meters are brand new replacements.
The case is a brand new, un-issued Signal Corps
CY-979A.
The receiver was completely burnt-in by Miltronix and had
multiple realignments until Rick was convinced it was stable and ready to be
delivered.
It is truly a PRIDE AND JOY!
And by using state of the art test equipment, Rick has it operating
better than the day it rolled off the line at Motorola in the early 50s.
A TRUE JOY TO OPERATE TOO!!!!!!!!! THANKS RICK!
Check out Rick and Miltronix at:
He’s an established expert and works nothing but R-390 and
R-390A’s. A quick Google search will
turn up some nice shots of his other classic restorations done over the
years. He’s literally restored hundreds
of these. He also does alignment,
repair, and re-manufacturing too.
