[R-390] Y2K-R3 beta Update

[Perry Sandeen]

GM List,

     I’ve finished the Y2K R3 beta and have sent it to our esteemed three wise guys, uh I mean
editors Al, Barry and Pete at the famous firm of Shorts, Arcs and Sparks for their consideration
and posting.

The biggest change is in the chapter 7 parts.  Besides pagination improvement I added the part
information to each identifier so you don’t have to go through the "same as" stuff for 4 or 5
pages

In pdf form the total files are about 4.5 Mbytes.  For us members of the Perpetually Doomed to
Dial-up, it is broken down to 13 files, the largest of which it about 700K bytes.  There will
probably be a large single file for the high speed fortunate.

     Now I’m working on the additional supplemental chapters.  AKA "The Missing Links".  This list
is just a start from my brain and isn’t set even in warm jello - let alone cement.

1.  Roger Ruszkowski‘s Service Tips.  He did R390’s service full time for 7 or 8 years!

2.  PTO Servicing

3.  Cleaning & Lubrication Materials

4.  Gear Train Cleaning & Lubrication.  I have Scott Scikel’s superb gear rebuilding article in 4
sections.

5.  Spare Parts and Services Sources

6.  Modification & Improvement Circuits- including SSB adapters.

7.  Internet Resources.  This includes other web sites, parts dealers, and related services.

     I’d appreciate comments and collaboration.  I still can’t download pdf files from my yahoo
mail account.  I’m going to get a hotmail account and see if that works.  Will post address when
it’s activated.  I also need some help with picture format conversion and cropping.

     Some material such as Chuck Ripple’s IF Deck Alignment is copyrighted.  Although posted on
the R390 reflector, I’m seeking permission to re-post it in the supplemental chapters.

     It wouldn’t surprise me if the supplemental data didn’t end with the same amount of
bandwidth.  As per the R3 it will be kept into small pdf chunks.  When I originally downloaded the
R2 17+ Meg files, it took a week of trying to not have a broken connection.  It tool 8 hours to
download.  I want everyone to be able to get the information easily no matter how far you are in
the boondocks

Please contact off list if you contribute or help.  Regards, Perrier
