Hello to the list,
I'm on a roll. After completing the restoration of my '67 EAC R-390A, with
the list's help, I traded a Kenwood TS-820S for a very good condition R-390.
The receiver appears to only need an indepth cleaning, as it seems to
receive on all bands. The 16-32 bands seem weak, but this may only be an
alignment issue.
The only glitch to proceeding with the restoration is the lack of a "green
gear". This is the gear on the front of the gear case that is turned to
mesh with the gear train to lock the gears in place for removal of the RF
deck. I understand that this gear, although not absolutely necessary, is
very helpful in simplifying the work on the gear train timing.
If anyone has one of these without a home, I would be happy to provide a
good home to it. A fair bounty will be paid for one.
Thanks for all your past support and assistance.
Sincerely,
Jim Temple
