[R-390] R390A Newbie - Need Meters & Filters

[Dennis Pharr]

All:

 

I've wanted to own a R390A receiver for a long time.  I've perused hamfests
and swapmeets for the entire summer thinking I would be able to find one in
reasonable condition and reasonably priced - but without success.  Since I
could wait no longer, I contacted Fair Radio today and ordered one "Used
Reparable".  While speaking with Gary Clements @ Fair Radio (very nice guy,
by the way), I was informed that he would do his best to provide a unit, put
together out of the pile they have left, that at least would power up and be
in some semblance of operating condition.  However, the best he can do is a
receiver without meters (I'm well aware of the meter issue - all pulled out
due to radiation fears before auctioning by the government) and most likely
the 4kc filter will be bad.  So, I'm looking for the following:

 

1.	Source, or multiple sources, for replacement meters
2.	Source, or multiple sources, for IF strip or individual filters

 

Neither one of the above items are currently available from Fair Radio.  If
anyone has any information or can point to an earlier post regarding the
above items, I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks & 73
