I'd happily sell my R-389 for that, or my 1935 RCA AR-60 either one...The AR-60, there are like a dozen known examples of it. It was $495 in '35, when a new Ford V-8 could be had for $650... The R-389 is almost that rare, maybe 700 made 1954-55, there are couple hundred, maybe, left... Or the R-391, an Autotune version of an R-390. 1200 made early '50s, maybe 50% survival rate...SX-88s ain't the ONLY "THAT rare" sets... Even my EK-07, there were only 1000 or so made 1958-73 for the West German Army, there are likely only 3-4 dozen on this side of the pond...
