Hi all:

I want to thank you all for such excellent and helpful advice.
I originally wanted the tools, because I presumed they were
some kind of exotic custom alignment tool, etc. But I understand
the #1 is a long, skinny Phillips, and #2 is a Allen key
screwdriver, (both of which I've got in my toolkit) so 
I'm not looking for them anymore. I'll leave them for someone
with a "completeness" fetish (me showing uncharacteristic restraint).

Are there any special tools I should lookout for to work 
on 390A's? I've got about two dozen non-metallic alignment
tools, inherited from an TV-radio repairman.

That's a really good idea, I'll do that. 

For those of you with a "parts" radio, I'm still looking
for the short IF coax that connects between the IF terminal
on the back panel j116 and the IF module j-514. But any
coax about 6" long with Mini BNC's on each end will work.
Please let me know.

Sincerely
Blair
