Well, after staying away from other radios and spending a day off out in the
other shack with the 390A, I conclude there is nothing *broken* per se about
this radio, merely that it is filthy, the gears are all gummed up and
scratchy, and that it requires a careful alignment, whatever mods are best
to incorporate the 100-ohm meters, and whatever upgrades [caps in
particular] are indicated to avoid known problem areas.
I am much encouraged. I've spent a lot of time on the Web this weekend
grabbing whatever I can find pursuant to the 390A restoration process.
