[R-390] A question of covers.

[Phil Atchley]

Hi.
I have just one quick question here.  When I get the overhaul of this =
R-390A
finished, probably in a couple weeks when the PTO and parts for re-cap =
have
arrived and are installed, I plan on putting this unit back in it's =
CV-979
cabinet. =20

Yes, I know that you remove the covers prior to installation and store =
them
safely away (as I have already done).   What about the Utah plate?  On =
this
unit the plate was removed (yes I did get it).  It 'seems' to me that
leaving the plate on would prevent dust and dirt that filters down =
through
the top vents from settling in the coils and that part of the mechanism
while I wouldn't think it would allow much if any heat buildup since =
there
are only a few tubes in that area of the receiver.

Are there any thoughts on the subject?=20
