[R-390] R-390 gear train

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I have found that different people may work at radically different 
speeds on this sort of thing. A lot depends on how much time you spend 
around mechanical stuff.

The cleaning process will vary quite a bit depending on what you have 
for cleaning gear and how bad a shape your gears are in. Getting all 
the crud out of the teeth on a bad set of gears is usually the part 
that takes me the most time.

The thing you don't want to do is get a first time tear down set up 
with the expectation that you have failed if it takes you more than an 
afternoon .....

	Enjoy!
