[R-390] Gear Train Guru Wanted

Sat, 3 Aug 2002 10:07:05 -0400

Barry,

I can certainly vouch for Walter's gear train pictures.  They were very
helpful on my first 390a (and second).
Thanks Walter!

73,

You may have seen the pictures I have posted on my website already.  I think
there are only eight shots taken during disassembly, but I've used these
pics a number of times when rebuilding gear trains, and they work well for
me.  If you'd like more pics added to this sequence, give me some idea of
where you'd like to see more details.  At one time, I was limiting the
number due to web space size restrictions, which is no longer an issue.
