[R-390] Y2K Manual

Thanks to the List Moderator, Don, for all his patience! AOL and HTML,  
blaaah!
 
It is said that third time is charm, so this attempt to post is VERY  
charmed....
If it is being seen more than once, please bear with me.
 
I have rejoined this List after several 'unexpected' moves. ha ha
 
I intend to start 'going through' my working and very mint '67 EAC. I have  
it in a Budd rack along with a nice CV-591A. I have the very nice Y2K Manual. I 
 was just wondering if anyone has an 'erratta' list for the Manual. Just 
after  getting the Manual, I remember some discussion concerning a mistake or  two.
I just want to prevent headaches down the road. I'm NOT complaining.
 
I do have a couple of questions on the 591A........
 
1. For some bizzare reason, the USB and LSB positions appear to be  reversed. 
I had to switch xtals to get it to detect the SSB signals as indicated  on 
the front panel. According to the 591A Manual, the xtals were in the correct  
position, but I had to switch them, to get it to function correctly.
Could the 390A be THAT far out of alignment? The audio sounds great with  the 
xtal swap, but......somethin' ain't right.
 
2. Never having used this combo before, I was VERY disappointed with the  
audio output of the 591A. I have to use an outboard audio amp to get decent  
volume. Tubes are good, been recapped, voltages normal etc. Any thoughts? I do  
have a junker 591A I picked up because the filter choke in mine was fried.
 
I don't mind using the outboard amp. In the same rack, is a 51J-3 with a  
solid state (Ron Hankins?) SSB adapter. Of course, this one absolutely needs an  
outboard amp. I just thought the 591 with it's 6AQ5 audio tube should provide 
as  much volume as my other boatanchors which use the same tube.....
 
 
thank you in advance!!
