[R-390] R390A alignment question

[flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Craig,

Les weighed in here with some mail. My server will not let me read it.
Likely I am missing the best laugh in months.

I though the short flat top can over the filter with no trimmers came first.
I thought these were stager tuned IF decks.

Today I am 61. Back then I was not real keen on trying to become a R390 
history buff. I was just trying to keep a whole bunch of them running one dirty 
PM at a time. I tried not to think about these small details.

My TM 11-5820-358-35 Dated 9 March 1962 Page 91 Section II Alignment. 
Paragraph 76. Alignment of 455-Kc IF stages, is a straight forward 455 alignment. 
Put the signal into the last Mixer of the RF deck at test point E210. Peak 
the generator through the 455 .1KHZ crystal. Set the band width to 16KHZ and 
peak all the slugs. Work the bandwidth down and continue peaking until you 
get the deck centered up on the 455 KHz crystal band pass.

I have no stager tuning procedure in the original paper book I have in hand.

If you have the equipment and can measure the difference, try your deck 
both ways and see what the results are.

As my mail from Les Lochlear will not open and I do believe in Murphy, I 
expect the real answer is in that mail.
