[R-390] 390A RF deck alignment

OK guys, thanks for the input.  I have found several problems.  [1] the MC shaft had about 1/4
inch  of end slop as the retaining snap  ring  was out  of  its groove behind  the  front panel,
this would allow   the shaft  to  disengage fron  the  gear.    [2]  on the 2nd xtal osc. deck,
the shaft also  had a good amount  of slop, i was able to correct  that by  loosening the shaft clamp and slding it   back closer to  the chassis.   [3] I did  the mech alignment @ 7 000mc,
not at 7+000mc.  So I need to go back and  do it again.  [4]  the problem  with the MC stop 
solved the stopping  at 26 mc.    
  This is real frustrating to do.  I give it a break and come back when I feel  up  to it.  Again, will  keep  you posted  on my results.  I feel  better about now, i am gaining some 
undrstanding of it.  
  Shaft clamps-  yes worked  on another  some years  back, broken clamps.  This  one is good,
just no assembled correctly.    thanks Russ.
