[R-390] A Little Help Needed

[Carole White-Connor]

Over the last few months, I've been working on and off on a St. Julien's survivor ('67 EAC) and need a little help. I cleaned and lubed it and replaced Chuck
Rippel's troublesome caps (except for the RF deck).

1. The set plays fairly well but the sensitivity is not where it should be. I've checked the tubes and replaced all weak ones. The sensitivity is better on
the higher bands. For example, I just listened to Radio Bulgaria. It came in just OK on 9.7 mhz but very strong on 11.7 mhz. The carrier meter deflects only
slightly even on strong signals. When I switch from AVC to MVC, there is no noticeable increase in the signal strength. Any ideas? (I'm a rookie on R-390As so
I need real simple instructions!).

2. A real dumb question: how do I replace the dial lights?

As always, thank you for your help and your patience.
