[R-390] R-390A Rebuild.. More Pics.

[Jon Schlegel]

Hi Steve and List,

Wow!  Looks great!  The RF deck is my next task on my Motorola.  The 
photos of your excellent work gives me more confidence to tackle the 
RF deck (all those gears!).  Good deal on cam alignment.  I've heard 
that there's a lot of commonality in the 390A slugs so it seems 
scrounging one shouldn't be a problem.  I have no spares otherwise I 
could offer to help out.

Best regards,
Jon WA3MVM
