[R-390] NEW 390A IF and AF decks, you know where

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I have worked at a number of places that had source inspection imposed. 
My conclusion is that it's a very personal thing. In one part of the 
country you will get a guy who's toughest question is "where do I 
sign?". In another part of the country you will get an inspector who 
wants to see the original first article test data on the gear or have 
the tests all repeated. Oddly enough both inspectors were looking at 
exactly the same piece of gear bought on the same contract.

Depending on the depot and who was in charge the information on the 
tags may mean nothing or it may mean a whole lot. Are the philips heads 
screws painted the proper shade of green? Can you prove that the MFP 
has no pinholes? I doubt any of us worry a whole lot about that stuff. 
With a real by the book guy doing the checking it's a failure ...

Bottom line here is still weather we should all be breaking up our 
R-390's to sell them as parts. To say the least that's a *major* 
heartbreak issue for some people. I'm in the process of sorting out the 
R-390 collection in order to thin it out a bit. Needless to say I'm 
agonizing over this very point.

	Take Care!
