[R-390] trouble shooting the 390A

[Giles Gant]

Hi all,

My 390A was working just fine when I took it out of service about
...... 15 yrs ago. I placed it on the back porch and there it sat
untill last week. Brought it in the house, plugged it up and no
signal. It has plenty of white noise. I can raise and lower the volume
with either the RF or AF gain control, just no signal. I am guessing
one of the I.F. stages is missing an osc. freq. but since I don't have
proper test gear I can't be sure.

Will someone please hazzard a guess as to what the problem may be?
Possibly someone else has experienced the exact same problem.

TIA for any helpful brainstorming.

BTW, I do have a RF signal generator on the way. I also have a VTVM so
I am hoping with these two pieces of equip. I can get my beloved rcvr
working again.

Giles.
