[R-390] R 390A Work in Progress (Long)

Hi Group

I recently bought a Collins R390A that has or  had many issues but in great physical
shape.

I recapped the IF module so far, AF & RF decks to go.  I seems to receive well
however but overloads on moderate to strong signals......yes the AGC jumper is
on the rear.  Reducing the RF gain corrects this overload,, all tubes tested fine.

My question is this......I haven't aligned any modules or recapped the AF,RF decks
could this be the problem?? I have tried turning the IF Gain lower.

I am unable to work with the IF in the radio (no  jigs).

Thanks

Bill  KB9IV
