[R-390] Yard sale find

[Bill Kulze]

Wow! And I thought I got my 390a at a good deal. Back around '90 I was 
working during a rough time as a cb tech for a car stereo place in So 
Cal. I got to know some local guys and did some side work. One guy 
worked as a forklift repairman and one of the places he worked was a big 
surplus place in San Fernando Valley, can't think of the name, but it 
was a big outfit. I guess they had the radios stacked pretty near to the 
ceiling. He traded some work for a couple and I did an alignment on his 
cb for one of them. I knew what it was because it was one of the radios 
they taught us repair on in the AF. It had one corner of the frame bent 
in the back as if it had been dropped. The only thing I found wrong with 
it was the bfo only gave a very high-pitched beat. I took the can apart 
and found the slug had come off the shaft. Glued it back on and it's 
been fine ever since.
