Fw: [R-390] R-390A trouble (I FOUND THE PROBLEM)

[Al Solway]

Jim,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Have been monitoring your endeavors and the advice
and help you got from the group. Sure is a great hobby we belong to. I

I admire your persistence and perseverance. Good luck with the repair.
It's going to so sweet when you get that radio playing.
