[R-390] F102 FUSE BLOWING

[Walter Wilson]

Bill,

Congratulations on getting your first R-390A.  I hope you have fond memories
of these fine receivers from your Navy days.  Your problem could be one of
the filter capacitors, more likely C606.  The last one I worked on that blew
fuses had a bad C606 electrolytic.  You can either rebuild the existing
aluminum cans, or wire new caps underneath the AF deck.  My website shows
how I rebuild the aluminum caps if that's the way you decide to go.

Good luck.

> Hi guys,

> Just picked up a r-390a from the estate of a silent key...I wanted one
because I loved them when I was in the navy. Figures that I would have
problems right from the start. The F102 1/4 amp fuse blows. I need some
direction on where to start and who is a good source for parts to replace
all the bad ones that your going to tell me I need. I'm not a real expert
when it comes to repairing radio's, but I'm will to give it a shot.
Especially don't really want to ship this for repair, just to have it
destroyed en route.
