[R-390] New Owner

[Barry]

Make sure someone has not put washers or other spacers between the IF module
and the frame.  That could cause a misalignment.  The IF module is designed
to mount directly to the frame.

Just a thought.

> Hello Friends,
> I am new to the list and am the new owner of an R-390A (Motorola,
14-PH-56, #651). It looks like mine has all chassis with the same contract
number too. But, I have a few questions.

> Has anyone ever seen a case were the bfo pitch and selectivity switch
shafts were not aligned with the front panel holes? Is there an adjustment
to align these? When I got mine the bfo pitch would not turn due to
alignment. Now that the IF chassis is out it turns fine.

> What are some good or critical things to do before applying power for the
first time? I have removed the audio, power supply and IF chassis and
inspected and am doing some clean up now.
