Although the spec says the R-390's range ends at .5mhz the
dial and tuning mechanism continue on down.  Has anyone ever
looked at what it would take to make the R-390 receive Long
Wave?

Not with the IF frequencies where they are.  You could add a
converter to the thing, but then you'd have much poorer S/N
because of the broadband converter.  Make it narrower and tie
it to the tuning, maybe, but at that point you might as well
just get another receiver.
