[R-390] RE: R-390 Digest, Vol 48, Issue 8

Tue Apr 8 08:45:48 EDT 2008

I bougth one from from Allied or Newark a few years ago.  I had a local
custom hot rod shop use their louver punch to place louvers in the top
and bottom of the cabinet and it worked great. Without louvers on the
cabinet the radio it too hot!

Has anyone tried these?  They have no cooling slots.

Hi Dave,
To really get those Hammond cabinets working right with an R-390/R-390A
you  
will have to install your own rails at the bottom to support the chassis

relative to the front panel. Otherwise if you try to install the
R-390/R-390A in  
those cabinets all the strain will be on the front panel when you
tighten the  
mounting screws. You can make up rails for the cabinet bottom using
aluminum 
or  steel angle stock and spacers to get the height of the chassis to
match 
the  front panel screws in the cabinet.

Also those particular cabinets can be the basis for an excellent cooling

cabinet if you install a couple of thin muffin fans in the bottom and
use feet  
to raise the cabinet bottom about an inch above the table top to allow
cooling  
air to flow under the cabinet to the fans. There is a space or channel
under 
the  cabinet of about an inch that is just right to hold some one inch
thick 
cooling  fans flush relative to the outside bottom of the cabinet. You
would 
need to  punch some 4-inch diameter holes in the bottom for the fans. I
made a 
similar  arrangement in a smaller Hammond cabinet for a Racal 6790 and
it works 
 great.

This arrangement would be perfect for the R-390 as you could place 2
fans 
directly under the area where the 6082 regulator tubes are located and
blow  
cool air directly across the audio chassis with the regulator tubes.
There is  
space around the sides of the chassis and the top of the radio where the
warm  
air can escape out to the rear of the cabinet.

 This is my second request. I am in desperate need of slugs and racks
for a R-390 I am working on. I will be happy to trade something or buy a
junker RF. What is a fair price for such an item?

The R-390 has differant slugs from the R-390A and in greater variety.

I bought one two months ago, and I'm happy with it. Other than it's 
black. I plan to repaint mine this summer.
