Scott,
I have good, bad, good , and more bad news for you.
Good: Great job in the repair
Bad: Now you are sucked into the black hole of R-390 series addiction.
I gave up the drugs and seriously cut down (note did not give
up) the drinking
of my youth but the lust of the 390 still hangs on
Good: You'll continue to have fun!
Bad: You have now made me feel bad that one of my units has a stuck
switch and I have
not yet done anything about it other than a small tap from a
rubber hammer on the
front panel. A former Army service tech, name withheld as
part of the witness protection program,
told me that was his preferred method of switch repair when
he was busy.

I would like to thank everybody for the help. My problem was indeed
the microswitch. I went to the Pearls Page, read the instructions and
took the front panel right off. It was much easier than I thought. It took
about 5 minutes to fix the switch and another 10 to put it back together.
5 more to take it back apart and tighten the zero adjust thingy and then
5 more minutes to put it back together again. Not too bad for a rookie.
It was a lot of fun actually. Thanks again for all of the help.
