[R-390] R390-A questions

[Bob Young]

Thanks Roger,

I've read a lot of your stuff, the things you know about these amazes me as 
with the rest of you. I did also think that since I paid the money I might 
as well have it fixed by the restorer as he would probably do a much better 
job than me and much quicker too. He did answer me today and I'm sending it 
back Monday. The thing is it did function well the first few times through 
the bands, so I think it left his shop OK, he seems to think it was a 
shipping issue but I'm not going to argue or try put in a claim with UPS as 
I've heard they are impossible to collect from. I'll just eat the shipping 
which isn't too bad from Ma. to Va. I thank all you wizards on this list as 
I read almost everything that comes in, I've been a subscriber for a while 
now. I want this radio as close to perfect as it can be so when I start to 
buy other ones I have something to compare them to. I'm sure this list is 
where I'll get my information.

Bob
