[R-390] Non_A

[Paul Staupe]

Folks,

I have to agree with Les.... I'm glad the pot's been stirred. 

As a member of this list from the beginning, it's fun to look back at 
the good 'ol days... Dr. Jerry, Noel, etc...  I can't imagine such a 
wealth of knowledge being given to the unwashed masses for free!

However, I've got a problem.  I have a non-A that has been sitting in 
pieces in my living room for several months (I'm embarrassed to tell you 
how many), supposedly ready to be cleaned up, but in reality due to fear 
that I would screw something up.  The green gear was inserted at the 
appropriate time, so that's not a problem, but it occurred to me a few 
days ago that the symptoms... nothing on any band... might be attributed 
to a failure of the ballast tube...

Should I go through the standard cleaning procedure and risk damage to 
the modules,  (and by the way, should I pull the coils out of the RF 
module when I clean it?) or just put it back together with a  new 
ballast tube and see if it works?

Wimpily yours,

Paul
Kansas City
