[R-390] Need info on R-388 collins Mechanical Filter kit

[WA9VRH Larry]

Hi,
>From your description it sounds like it is a 51J-4.  Since the panel is
marked
with the filter selections.
You can find a manual to download at:
http://www.collinsradio.org/html/manuals.html

It is about 3/4 down the page. Good luck on the 51J-4.
