[R-390] Below 8mhz problem.

[Jim Temple]

 Hello to the group,

I recently bought a "massacre" R-390 and completely tore it down and cleaned
and replaced all the "problem" caps.

I have already replaced the 100pF cap at T-207 with no luck.

 The problem I have is that the calibrator is strong and loud on all bands
8mhz and above, and below 8mhz is barely audible and extremely faint.

 The receiver will not hear the signal generator at all, so I have not been
able to align the variable IF's.

 The fixed IF hears fine, but the signal is injected directly into the IF
module.  With the variable IF's, the signal can not be heard while input
into
the balanced antenna input.

 Perhaps a kind soul has experience with the problem described and will
offer
some hints as to a possible fix.

 Thanks.
