[R-390] 3TF7 resistor replacement

[Llgpt at aol.com]

I have heard from various experts that if one were to do this, when  somebody 
turns a light switch on in any part of the house, the receiver will  change 
frequencies. Can you confirm or deny this?

Hi

The resistor goes between pins 2 and 7. Page 115 in the Y2K  manual .....

There was a fairly extensive thread on this back a couple  of months 
ago. You can probably find it in the archives. All of the  plusses and 
minuses of the various ballast tube modifications were brought  up.

Best bet is if you have a plug that will go into the tube socket.  That 
way you can replace the mod if you find a ballast tube later.  
Alternately you can solder the resistor to the tube socket pins under  
the IF module.
