[R-390] First post to the list.

I too have that permanent "screen door mesh" in my abdominal area. I'm down to one Boatanchor, my John R. Leary SP-600J (Non X) for those born too damn late to matter.

I have a removeable top cover and can access all the tubes. All resistors and caps have been replaced, so no problems there. Lift the top and give it an annual tube test.

Kinda like the once a year check with the Doctor, but he doesn't test tubes. But, his fingers are long enough to extract that elusive 6C4 below and to the right of the RF deck.................;-)

  AARP has 20% coupons in every issue. If you sign up for their mailing 
  list they send coupons by email and snail mail.

  I have been tempted by that hydraulic table as I get older and already 
  had my hernia operation from lifting radios.
