[R-390] mech. filters

[SHELLY199 at aol.com]

hello list,

Recently, someone on the list seemed to have a  keen interest in rebuilding 
filters.  He was offering  5 bucks for  defective filters.  Not that I'm 
interested in making big money selling bad  filters but would like to discuss some 
of my experiences with filters.  If  he could reply I'd appreciate it.


Barry,
I see you  have a noisy ant trimmer.  You may get lucky and possibly save 
yourself  from pulling the rf deck.  The ant trimmer shaft is insulated from 
chassis  by a fiber washer under the nut securing it to the bracket.  The nut is  
directly below the ant gear that turns the ant trim shaft.  By loosening  the 
nut and lifting the trimmer upwards you can get in there with a small brush  
and clean crud from the washer.  Also tuner cleaner may help dislodge and  dirt 
that may be there.  It's worked for me on at least one  occasion.

Regards,
Rich WD2Q
