[R-390] EAC R-390A parts needed

[b w]

Tom,

I think that I have a compete set of the real IERC tube shields between 
my 2 radios. I have one Utah cover plate and one set of top and bottom 
covers. All came pretty much free with the radios. I only use a couple 
of the tube shields for the one working R-390A, and those are only the 
suggested shields listed by Chuck Rippel. I keep one top cover loose on 
top of the radio in the rack for dust protection. I take it off most of 
the time when the radio is on to prevent heat buildup. I keep the Utah 
plate stored away. All of this is nice to look at from time to time, but 
most of it could allow too much heat.

Just keep your eye open for reasonably priced IERC shields. Sometimes, 
you find them for a buck or two. A whole lot of old timers have them 
rolling around in junk boxes or stuffed in plastic AM/FM radios. You 
only need something like 5 or 6 for shielding in a working radio....if 
you decide you need them.
