[Milsurplus] R-392 Question

[Dave Merrill]

Are you sure the shaft is bent?  The tuning shafts pass through bushings on
the front panel.  It's possible that the bushing is out of alignment.  I
don't recall if the adjustment nut is on the front or back of the panel.

Changing the shaft is going to be a lot of work so you might be better off
just just finding a complete RF deck and making the swap.
