[R-390] R-391 help

Folks,

Just fired up a beautiful R-391 from a local friend who kept his radios 
in immaculate condition.  I carefully brought it up with a variac power 
supply that had a voltmeter and an ammeter.  I was wondering why the 
ammeter kept bouncing from 1.4 to over 2A until I realized that the 
crystal ovens switch was ON.  That's a bad thing... keep the ovens off 
folks....

Now the next challenge is to get the tuning mechanism operational.  
Anybody out there have a connector for the 24V tuning side of this beast?

Best regards,
