[R-390] re: trouble shooting the 390A

[Giles Gant]

Hello to everyone,

I wish to thank all you guys who have responded to this thread. A
number of the responses, in fact most, were via e-mail.

So I am happy to report the receiver now has a signal passing thru all
stages and seems to be working ok. I know it needs some touching up
but at least I have something to work with now.

What did I find. Well... I did quite a few things, per all your
suggestions, so I am not sure what thing or things did the trick. I am
thinking that going thru and removing-replacing each tube one at a
time may have been what cleared the original trouble. Now I have
discovered the mechanical tunning had become stiff, so when I began
tunning some of the cams slipped. You all know what that did. So I
think (read hope) we have a hand on it now.

I will probably be asking some more questions but thanks a million for
all the help.
