[R-390] Re: [Milsurplus] Wanted - Auto-Tune Motor for R391 Receiver

Wed, 18 Jun 2003 23:08:09 -0700

Hello Gene,
Another thought just passed my mind regarding the motor for your R-391!
Could it use the same motors that are in the R-389? I do not have a manual
on the R-391.
If so, I have a R-389 manual that I could check and if it the same I could,
GOOD GRIEF-SAVE MY SOUL, cannibalize my 389 to get the motor you need. Of
course you would have to sign your life away, and will me all your
boatanchors, radio equipment, tools, and any hidden treasure. Could this be
a winner? On a serious note, I can research this part and get you a status
if it is anyone inventory.
