[R-390] Hello, New Member wanting to own a R-390A

[Ronald Davis]

Hello
I have just found out about the great boatanchor receivers, and I am
learning all I can about SP-600's and R-390's. I bought a SP-600 to work on
and restore till I can find a R-390. I have alot to learn about the tube
rigs. I have picked up several old books that I hope will teach me what I
need to know. I also plan on buying the video to restore my SP-600. I do
have one question for the group, since I have not seen any R-390's local, is
it safe to buy one from Fair Radio Sales? I do not know much about the rigs
and do not want to be taken, and im sure it would be easy to do hi. I do not
mind working on them, cleaning, repainting and replacing caps, resistors
etc. Just one big problem I have to learn the correct way of trouble
shooting hi. I do not understand yet the way the rigs work and im hoping the
books and the videos will solve that. Anyone out have any good advice I
would really appreciate it. Anyone out there have one that they want to sell
at a decent price, please email directly hi.
Thanks for the time and space
Ronnie
