[R-390] a long time lurker pops his head up

Probably the first thing I would do is to download the Y2K manual, so that  I 
had a good source of information.  I would ohmmeter the B+ at the  fuses to 
make sure there are no shorts, and I would check or replace C553, the  cap that 
separates the B+ from the mechanical filters.  I would then bring  up the 
radio slowly using a variac.  On second thought, I would probably  check all the 
tubes before trying to fire the radio up, just to eliminate on  possibility of 
problems.  Once the radio is up and running, then there may  be any number of 
things to do, depending on the results.  You can read the  Y2K manual, or 
post problems here if you need help.  Good luck with the  radio.  I picked 
mice.ne up in 1973 and it's been a delight ever  since.
