[R-390] Shelby Hamfest Report

[Al Tirevold]

I had a hankering for a nice R-388, but none materialized......after all 
I only have ONE of those.....

I did find a guy selling surplus stainless hardware and stocked up on 
all the sizes for the R-390A for about a buck a pound.  I also scored 
black stainless rack screws for $1/~100.

Saw Mike's very well-done recapping job on his R-390A IF deck and 
chatted with Al Parker and a few others.  Mike's dinky-copper-tubing 
trick in a tight corner sure looks to me like a winning technique for 
getting a replacement cap into a niche!  I wish it had not been raining 
and the light had been better - I'd have taken a few pics for the 
Y2K-R3 manual!

We R-390-types need to get better organized about meeting and 
chatting.... I heard that I missed seeing quite a few folks.

All my stuff is out in the garage drying out assisted by a dehumidifier.  
The cardboard boxes are still soggy and limp.  I tried to wear my 
sandals this afternoon and left litle red mud clods all over the 
garage.  

The Shriner's homemade biscuits and ham were spectacular as usual.
