[R-390] New Member

[kenny]

Hi everyone,

I have just joined 'the list' a few days ago. My name is Ken, I have 
been interested in radio since I had my first Crystal Set at nine years 
of age I am now thirty nine and been a ham the past six years.

I have a keen interest in BA's especially the 390 series and my current 
'collection' stands at two RCA AR-88's, one R-390 and three R-390A's.
The 390 is a Motorola unit and the 390A's are Teledyne, Stewart Warner 
ans EAC and all off them are my pride and joy (particularly the 390 and 
the EAC). They all do operate...some better than others and each have 
their own little quirks however none are anywhere near Spec so I intend 
to fully restore all of them.

In that regard, I have just started work on the Stewart Warner I have 
chosen to start with the Audio Deck as it seems to be the most straight 
forward and I have decided that this one can be my test bed with the 
idea that by the time I have finished it, my work will be first-class.

I will let you know how I go with it.

Kindest regards to everyone,
Ken
