[R-390] More PTO pics

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

I did pull the can back as far as I could without disconnecting any wires 
the other evening.  The innards are wrapped in an insulating material.  
Anyone know if this stuff is safe?  I assume it's the same as the 
insulation around the crystal deck's heater and I've been told that's just 
fiberglass (no asbestos), but was just wondering.  It will make repacking 
it messy should I ever need to go in there.

Barry,

All the caveats apply. Do not eat it. Do not use it for eye wipe.
It is fiberglass.

Mostly it is a very nice blanket and un packs and re packs very nicely.

During re assembly, grab a pair of her knee high nylon socks.
Place one over the insulation blanket and slide the whole thing back into the 
can.

You can use the second one as a temporary restraint and remove it just as the 
can slides shut.

The PTO is in a double can assembly.
Inside is the Oscillator parts in a can.
Then there is the heater element and insulation outside the inside can.
Then there is the very nice cover we see as the VFO.

Those cans as 1950 extruded aluminum were then state of the art in extrusion.
