[R-390] me radio ist bloken

[Gary Bourgios]

I have an R390 that I got from the lengendary K1MAN.  THe radio started developing an interment where the audio level would drop way down in volume, and a quick shake of the rack cabinet brought it back.

Now there is no Sig Meter, no audio, and nobody hear qualified to work on this.

This radio was fully restored by ChuCk Ripple.  It always drew stares, and likely as not, the no code tech's found a machanical radio to be fasinated, and the amount of signals it got nothing less than astounding.

Such a good looking radio should NOT just be occupying a rack space, there is a duty to fill racjspace


I believe Chuck is not taking on any 390a's.  Is there anyone out there worthy of such a fine radio?  I am open to bids  And the reputation of the fikjs in this list.

It seens there are a few tubes that do not seem to glow, is it a Ballast tube anomoly or anything?
