Howdy,

Just finished up the rebuild of my R390A RF deck after
looking at all the pieces lying on my table since last
April.  I had meant to complete this activity before summer
but our weather was so good, well, I just didn't get back to
it.

Huge thanks to Scott Seickel for the excellent pictures and
instructions making this job doable after such a long
absence from the tear-down.  

I have the RF deck all back together now and mechanically
aligned.  Both the Mc and Kc mechanisms tune very smoothly. 
However, I am left with a few parts that I cannot account
for.  These parts are shown in the following picture:

There were 2 shim washers and a slip-ring for both of the
ten-stop turns shaft that I used during the assembly.  So I
have 4 shims and a slip ring left over that I can't account
for.  Also, 3 other misc shims.  Finally, I have an extra
shaft spacer like that used on the veeder root counter Mc
change gear.  Early on I tore apart an old junker RF deck to
get some needed parts and it is possible that these are from
that activity but I just can't remember.  Can anyone guess
if I have missed something?

BTW, if anyone is interested, here are before and after
pictures...

Thanks again to all those who helped with the Y2K manual and
to Scott for his excellent pictures and instructions.
