I recently aquired a Motorola R-390A at a yard sale. It looked good overall and
all knobs turned. After getting it home and taking a closer look, I saw that the
oldham coupler to the PTO had been backed off and the PTO shaft wouldn't turn. I
pulled the PTO which had the decal seal still intact. Since it would turn, I
decided to open it up. What I found is that it had been turned so hard that the
slug was at the far end and the tuning shaft had been bent. Hard to believe that
someone could turn it that hard.
I am looking for two things: a replacement PTO, but also a replacement tuning
shaft as I plan to try and rebuild the one I have as a spare. The gentleman that
rebuilt his COSMOS PTO has inspired me. I would also appreciate any advice on
the subject.
thank you
