[R-390] R-390 Restoration

[Rick Popovich]

Brian,

I think you have made a wise decision to do you own restoration. I joined
this group earlier in the year to gain knowledge, experience and obtain
information and links to various resources that might help me restore a
R-390 and R-391 that I acquired over the years.

In short the group has far exceeded my expectations and is not only a wealth
of vital information but also a great "support" group for us fans of this
venerable receiver.

I too explored having others do the work for me and after some soul
searching, feedback from the group and some really bizarre experiences with
one of the folks you mentioned I decided to do the work myself - it was one
of the best decisions I have ever made.

The best part is that the more experience you gain in working on these
radios the more your confidence level increases - a definite win-win.

With that long cold winter ahead of you what better way to spend it than
with a good friend!

Let us know how you do.

Regards,

Rick Popovich
