Hi,
I just acquired my first R-390A on Friday for the princely sum of $2 LOL!
Well, as you'd expect with a rig you only paid $2 for, there are things that
are missing - a screw from the front panel, and most notably the IERC tube
sheilds. I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for a complete set
(these are all silver) or maybe even has a spare set FS?
My other question is has anyone encountered a bad Dial Lock, and if so,
how is it fixed? The only other thing is the Zero Adjuster and Antenna Trim
units...both go round 360 degrees. I'm assuming that the Antenna Trim is
supposed to stop at -4 and again at +4 as that's where it's marked, as well
as the Zero Adjust? Or do I have a problem with these?
I changed the power cord to 3 wire as per mil spec, and fired it up, but
some
of the tubes that tested as "good" (upper 60's) seemed to balk and I don't
have any audio at all, and the Carrier Level meter is around the 60 mark
with
no antenna plugged in at the back.
Thanks for your time,
Darryl
