[R-390] Fw: Bringing a '51 contract Collins mfrd R390 back tolife

[James A. (Andy) Moorer]

I have large stocks of all R-390 (and R-390A) parts EXCEPT the R-390 IF 
deck.
(please don't ask for one tiny part, like a gear or something - I'd rather 
send you a "junker" guaranteed-unrestorable deck for $25 that you can 
disassemble yourself and get lots of usable parts, rather than spending an 
hour trying to extract just the part you need)
I believe Dan Arney has a good stock as well.
We both have to charge money for the parts. Sorry.
I "guarantee" the modules in that if for some reason it can't be restored by 
just replacing the widely-available parts, I'll replace it until you get one 
that can be restored. BTW, modules have no tubes or shields (I can sell you 
tubes and shields, but you might as well go to Fair Radio or Antique 
Electric Supply or somebody). Slug racks and Oldham couplers may or may not 
have springs.

You can download the R-390 maintenance manuals from my web site for free, if 
you are willing to wait for them - they are large.
