[R-390] $R390A prices and a repair story

[flood at Krohne.com]

Scott /Cecil,

I'll take some of your working radios that are missing knobs and meters 
for  around $200 each!  (greed mode activated, now I need a description 
for ebay as to why the units with missing meters are worth more...)  But 
then again.... I'll bet Barry has beat me to them :)

BTW I was to embarrassed to admit it before to anyone except Todd " 
Boomer", but I fixed my '52 Motorola 390.  After hauling it out of the 
rack, and digging up the heavy old test gear, I found my problem.... a bad 
dc fuse.  Just thought someone might benefit from my experience.  At work 
I'm always telling people to look at the simple things first.  To bad I 
don't follow my own advice, I could have rolled out the rack and changed 
the fuse in place... If I only had checked it first!
