[R-390] "Y2K" R-390 TM

Hi folks,

For the first time since my daughter was born, I have some time to kill.

A few years ago, I took the TM11-5820-357-35 from LOGSA, OCR'd it, scanned 
most of the pictures, grabbed text and pictures from the Collins R-391 
Instruction book, and typeset the whole mess using a tool similar to LaTex 
called Lout.  There is a parts list appendix, which is taken from the 
R-391 manual, and is a superset of the R-390 parts list.  Parts should be 
easy to distinguish (e.g. the R-390 doesn't have any automatic tuning 
related parts).

I need help proofreading the manual.  It is a 13MB PDF.

Prospective volunteers would ideally have TM11-5820-357-35 handy, either 
as a printed copy, or the original LOGSA copy (which I can make 
available).

My primary goal right now is to ensure accuracy, and also get feedback on 
suggested changes or additions at the chapter level.  Later, I'd like to 
consider adding sections about restoration issues specific to these 
receivers (R-390 and R-391).

May I have volunteers with some time on their hands?  If more than one, 
I'll suggest splitting different sections to different volunteers.

Thanks,

Paul
