[R-390] COSMOS PTO EP ADJUSTMENT

[wa3frp at aol.com]

Pete, 

One question for you (and anyone else on the list who may wish to comment) as I want to go in, fix the problem and get back out quickly. I can't afford to have a lot of downtime as this R-390A is my primary receiver.  And, knowing how things work, something that I haven't worked is sure to show up if I am off-the-air.

You said "...once the endpoint adjustment slug is fully in and out of thread, you've got to have the PTO  apart and put back in..."

Are there any hints or things that I should know in working to get the endpoint adjustment slug screw back in the threads.  Or, is this fairly straightforward once I've removed the coil from the PTO?  I have tried turning the screw counterclockwise with a hope that the threads would simply re-engage - without success.

Thanks and 73 Russ WA3FRP
