[R-390] Saturday Afternoon occupations

  I'm half-way through de-mounting the panel from my venerable R-388 - it 
and the dial-drum are heading to Howard Mills for ReFurb.

   The front panel of this radio was "re-finished" by a twit (or twits) 
before it came to me (I've had it about 20 years now) in a 
beige/pink/salmon gloss, with those 'press-on' transfer decals for the 
control designations.

   While the Cosmetics are with Howard, I'l repair it's recently-dead PTO 
and re-tube, re-cap, and when it's back together again, it'll get a nice 
tuning-up.

   Hopefully it'll now outlast me - and perhaps become a Problem for 
whoever has to clean out my Junk after I've gone SK.  "My God! What did he 
want with all that STUFF???"


   Cheers
