Subject: [R-390] Shaft Clamps

Hello All,
 While putting the IF deck back into my R-390A, I noticed that the =
bandwidth
switch shaft could not be tightened enough to not slip. Found that the
little shaft clamp was broken. Switched to broken clamp to the BFO shaft =
and
put the BFO clamp on the bandwidth shaft. They both work now. The BFO =
shaft
is much easier to turn so the broken clamp is working on it.

However, I'd like to get a replacement clamp to replace the broken one. =
Does
anyone have an idea where one could be found?

Replaced the two blocking capacitors in the IF deck, re-assembled the =
rig
and fired it up. It still works so it survived the road trip from Little
Rock, AR to Jackson, TN OK.

I'm going to have to beef up my work area before getting serious about
finishing up work on the rig. My solid state workbench is still shaky =
and
too small.

Later.

Forrest Myers
