[R-390] Any help for a beginner?

[Ronnie Davis]

Hello
Its been awhile since I have posted, but I have been reading all the posts.
I am getting ready to start restoring one of my R-390A's and have some
questions. I have one of the rebuild kits and plan on installing all parts,
plus tearing down everything possible for cleaning. I plan to paint the
front panel last, and I want to make a nice wood cabinet for it also. I have
the videos, the manuals and just trying to find space and time to do the job
hi. Does anyone know of a complete restore sequence instruction list? I am
new to tube rigs, and I have made some mistakes before, and I do not want to
make any on the R390A. I have just finished building my third Elecraft K2,
and its time to move to the R-390A. I would appreciate any help that you
could give me on starting the project. Please remember that im new to tube
rigs, new to trouble shooting and new to some of the testing equipment. I
have what I think I need to begin the project, that is VTVM, Scope, tube
tester, signal generator and the rebuild parts. What I really need is a
helping hand on what to do first, what to do second etc, what are the
problem areas, what to clean the parts with, how to get the fungi coating
off so I can solder the new caps in, how to solder the new caps in so they
will look good, how to get the best possible rebuild possible? Sorry for the
long post, but this project is important to me as are the rigs. I have
several rigs to do and I want to do it right the first time. Thank you in
advance.
