[R-390] Microswitch replacement

[DJED1@aol.com]

I began having problems with the microswitch in my R-390A failing to turn off 
the radio.   After disassembling and playing with the switch twice, I called 
Fair Radio to see if I could get a replacement.   The answer was yes, but at 
$10 each.   I ordered two since I assumed they were clipped from rigs that 
couldn't be salvaged.   I was pleasantly surprised to receive two NOS switches 
which has never been soldered.   So now I've got a spare to leave to the next 
generation.   I also took the oportunity while I had the radio apart to tweak the 
calibration and end point on the Cosmos PTO I have installed.   Nice smooth 
tuning but the calibration seems to drift after a couple of years.   Now I can 
enjoy the radio for the next several years.
