[R-390] Crystal osc. dial drum transplant

Dave Medley has done this.  There is, I believe an article on his web site
about it he has, or used to have, the parts (new label, etc.).

Subject: [R-390] Crystal osc. dial drum transplant

Hello, list.

Am gearing up to start the rebuild of my "good" all-EAC R-390A.  I was
fortunate to find one that is in terrific shape internally (and has
all-polyester capacitors from the factory so it's Less Work For Baby) but
has the usual wear on the front panel and chassis exterior.

One thing I would like to do is replace the crystal oscillator dial drum
(the one you can see through the hole in the top of the crystal oscillator
deck).  For some reason, the labels on the drum have deteriorated for
reasons I can't figure out.  I've got a Stewart-Warner/Amelco RF/osc. deck
hulk I can use the drum from, but R&R'ing the drum looks troublesome.  Has
anyone actually done this?  If so, how did you do it?  I'd prefer to not use
a paper label on the existing drum if I can help it (though I could easily
make one).

regards,

Mahlon - K4OQ
