[R-390] Stuff that's not in the book

IBill,

Good job on the pot clean up and recovery.

Knobs set screws put burs on shafts. That why they did the big knobs with the 
split and clamp. So as not to burr the shaft. The idea on the IF deck 
extensions is to let the burred extension shafts stay in the front panel. Some 
receivers have the micro dial on the BFO for RTTY work. It was eisier to do the 
clamps on the extesion shafts.

If you do not have a long spline wrench that will reach in to the deck and 
your RF gears, you need to make one. Grind (sawing spline wrench is a for ever 
job) chunk of spline off an wrench so you have a straight piece. get out the 
acid core solder and solder the sline into a length of small brass tubing. 
Arange a good handle.

> Oiled and re-set the bushings for KC and MC shafts,

Amazing what reseting the bushing can do for tunnel carpo relief

How about stuff in the manual that is wrong?

Not all that much is wrong. But there was enough to movite the Fellows to 
produce the Y2K manual.

I like that manual a lot.
