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

[Dan Arney]

I find it extremely interesting that after Collins designed these GREAT 
radios and they were built to work 24/7/365 with covers, shields, 
adverse operating conditions, voltages all over the scale, vibration and 
i could go on forever.
Then the radios became available to to public domain, then all of a 
sudden a whole new bunch of WANNABEE redesign engineers come up with all 
of these far out theories and solutions to further their case or mostly 
their pocket books to sell the SS replacements for a perfectly working 
ballast tube or to enhance the audio, which is fine. It was not designed 
to be concert hall performer. It was designed to listen some of the 
worst signal reception signals in the world for the state of the art at 
the time.
Covers and shields were there for a reason.
The Spec's say how and where the radio was DESIGNED to OPERATE.
The enhancements help to some extent.

We all remember our lost somewhere in the Louisiana swamps Nolan Lee and 
his radio that ran over 7 years 24/7 with out a 3TF7 failure and with 
voltage fluctuations up and down with covers on and all shields in place 
with it meeting the same spec's (period)

Recap yes. align yes, then plug and play and pass it on to first your 
born still running.

IF IT WORKS WHY FIX IT????

My .0002 worth.
