[R-390] broke 390

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

Friends, (if I have any left...),

Some points:

 My deepest thanks to several whom I need to answer
privately..To the others, you really have no idea of
where I should put my 390...(No, I'm only kidding...,
'tho I know some of you must feel that way by now...)

To those who asked what I would trade for, I can only
say...what have YOU..?? I would, of course, take a
mint
ek-07, or that real rare Racal, or a brand new Omni..
etc, but not much hope that I could ever afford the
diff....if I could find a trader...Frankly, I don't
really expect the trade thing to work out, but you
don't know unless you try..

Druthers: In order of pref... 

1. Keep this one.Get repair somehow...(Had it 10 yrs)
2. Trade for Collins 390. Pay diff.
3. Trade for Mot. 390. ditto.
4. Trade for 390a, any, ex. cond., ditto.
5. Trade for other..(like maybe an Omni, or WJ
1000).!!
6. Sell out (not very likely).
7. Shove it in the closet for a while..then take it
   to someone for repair..
8. Leave it to someone in my will, who would appre.
   (only friends need apply, but you have to outlive
   me, and most of you are older than dirt anyway..)
9. Leave it to an enemy...or learn to "fix" it myself.
10.Leave it to someone with a boat..


Also, since I am here again:  Am once in a while
renewing my request for someone who might know my rec.
monitor/amp. to tell me about it..never have found
anyone who can..IT IS:

Teleregister Corporation
Type: CA 1318,  S.N.: 383.
Contract #: Cca-26540 (was made for Civil airo Admin.
or whatever it was correctly  called)
Looks pre or during WWII.

It is ex. well built and has all high tol. rs and caps
Input is on the front panel and is norm. phone plug
type...has vol. cont., cal, and switch for X1 and X
10 for the meter..I simply plug the out from the
headphone jack on receiv. into it...

(I got it when I bought a rackfull 10 yrs ago...At
that time I got the orig, and never been on the mkt.
UNALTERED 390, the monitor, a BC1421 which went to 
a list member, a TMC ssb conv. and a uhf mil. unit, I
gave away the next day...(Can't remember what it was)
At that time I paid a pittance for it all...The ssb
conv also went to a list member last year..I have no
interest in the conv, and never used one when I was in
mil..)

ANY CHANCE THE MON. IS WRONG FOR THESE RADIOS AND WAS
THE CAUSE OF THE PROB.? I DON'T THINK THAT IS LIKELY.
BUT I DON'T KNOW....My limited ex has shown me that
mis-match in audio can sometimes make a pretty good
mess..

It is VTVM control and uses 4 tubes and  massive
filters for both audio and line in. Several HUGH
el.Caps which prob. need rebuild. How can I find out
more about this unit...Couldn't find it on the WWW
(so far) Any ideas?? 

Please forgive my long-windedness.  Thanks for your
help. you have been more than nice...

Best Regards,

John
