To All,

Yesterday my R-390/A got real quiet. If I turned up the local gain to max, I
might be able to hear a local broadcast station.

Well, today after looking under the hood of the beast, I think the offending
component was located. The RF gain pot has seen better days. It is now a
8.6K pot and doesn't adjust any lower than 1.6K ohms.

So does anyone on the list have a spare R103 RF gain pot, 5K 2W???? Would
like to have one per specs. Panel mount, 2W, correct shaft length, etc.
Please contact me off list. E-mail..... wd8kdg at worldnet.att.net

Thanks & 73's
