[R-390] New Project

[Carole White-Connor]

I just bought my second R-390A. This one is a yellow-striper (St. Julien's?) but
is complete (except for a few tubes), in good cosmetic condition and the tuning
mechanisms turn freely. I'm going to be coming to you guys with some questions
to get this set running. As always, I am grateful for your help and astounded by
your collective knowledge.

My first questions pertain to the jacks for the power input and audio output.
This is a Navy receiver set up for shipboard use. (See page 2-5 in the Y2K
manual).

    1. What type of connector will I need to plug into J903, the AC input?

    2. Likewise, what type of connector will I need to plug into J902, the audio
output?

    3. Where can I get these connectors? Might any of you have some that you
might like to sell to me?

    4. Are there any tricks to wiring and using these connectors?

Once I get these connectors, I plan to replace the missing tubes and replace the
troublesome caps per Chuck Rippel's page. Then I can fire her up.
