[R-390] R-390(nonA) IF Cans

[David P. Goncalves]

Hello All,

 After a long wait, I have recieved my first (may not be the last) R-390.
The modules have been handled roughly, and there are quite a few
scratches, gouges and dents. Nothing too bad, just looks ugly.

 Now for my question: Besides the dents, I'm noticing that the tops of the
IF cans are all 'pushed in', andf that the can nuts are tightened 'till
the sides bulged out. Is this normal, or was it a bad day in the shop for
this radio? Is there any harm in banging out the dents?

 Thanks,
