[R-390] Re: Line filter issues possibly solved!

[AdamAnt316@aol.com]

I've heard much about that sort of mod, but would rather keep my 390A in it's 
original form if all possible. I'm planning on replacing the original line 
cord (which is intact for the most part, but has a crack or two in the outer 
rubber jacket) when I get the replacement line filter, but will most likely 
replace the molded plug of the new cord with the old metal military plug (looks 
like a two-pronger which was later retrofitted with a third prong). Plus, since 
my set only has the two small holes for the line filter input terminals, it'd 
probably be hard to put in an IEC connector without heavily-butchering the back 
panel. I'm sure that there are at least a few people out there who've 
replaced their line filters simply so that they'd have a removeable power cord on 
there, and that they'd hopefully be willing to get rid of the old line filter 
assembly; otherwise, I'll probably end up going with a $17 Fair Radio pull (I 
know that American Trans-Coil wants only $7 for one, but their $25 minimum order 
policy makes going that route even more expensive than going with FR; I'd be 
willing to pay $7 for someone's old line filter, provided that it was working 
before it was pulled out for the retrofit). As always, TIA.
