[R-390] Question

[rkofler at aol.com]

Thank you Bob. That is clear enough. Sometime, take a look at the Y2K 
Manual chapter 12 page 5. I'm sure its not bad info. I'm probably just 
reading it wrong.

Thanks again to all.
Roger

Roger,

Then I would have to say that there is definitely some bad info 
*someplace*!

There is only one "model" of the IF subchassis for the R-390A.  Either
it is the early version, which has NO trimmers for the filters, then 
the
later one WITH trimmers for the filters.

I have an EARLY one, NO trimmers, BUT it is stamped MOD 1.

C-553 is STILL there - and in the SAME place!  It IS a paper cap in
"most" IF Chassis'.  I have found a Sprague Vitamin Q in others.

In ANY event - REPLACE IT as stated on Chuck Rippel's page!

If it isn't replaced, a surge CAN take out whichever filter is in-line!

[Knock on wood!  Haven't lost one yet!]
