[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 61, Issue 1

The other question I have is I seem to remember that each clutch disk is
rotated 90 degrees from the previous one. Is this correct? I was so
irritated with myself for taking the clutch apart that I didn't pay
attention to how it came apart. The problem I have is that I have never seen
one of these radios that worked. I have always wanted one and when this one
became available I bought it but the tuning system was so gummed up and
wouldn't move I still have not. I do have to say the people in this group
have been great. My wife is a little irritated that I have used up all of
the q-tips in the house

Bob,

I'm trying to remember how I did this long long ago.  If you have the clutch

assembly face down on a surface and you're pushing down on the shaft it 
won't work, the three pins sort of get in the way, your downward force is 
transmitted to the pins and the work surface and the clutch doesn't 
compress.  The trick is to put something under the clutch so the pins don't 
hit the surface, then push down on the back of the clutch and slip the clip 
on.

This is a somewhat hazy recollection - hope it helps.  Good luck.
