[R-390] Want a 390 non-A repaired

[John Lawson]

   I'm near to getting the panel back on my R-388. Next I need to dig into my 
R-390A and fix up a few dead bands (40M: Arrgh!) etc.

   In the meantime, I've had a couple more contracts signed recently, so I've 
just gotten [quantum-busy-jump] busier.

   That leaves my R-390 sitting on the "round tuit" shelf once again.  So I 
thought I'd solicit the Group's feelings / opinions as to the best Venue to get 
the 390 re-tubed and aligned to the point where it's doing well on all bands. 
Currently it powers up, and a few strong local AM broadcast stations can be 
(barely) received, but she's mostly deaf.  I'm not concerned with the cosmetics 
or with having it 'at-or-better' spec-wise, I'd just like it to function on all 
bands, then I can put the 390A on the bench for a (long) while.

   So if you can refer me someone who does this work currently (OR if you are 
available yourself to repair a 390 non-A) - please reply back to me PRIVATELY 
off-list.  I dont want to get bidding or finger-pointing started - I'm just 
interested in ballpark prices and average turnaround time for an R-390 in "OK" 
condition.

  Thanks to everyone in advance...


Cheers
