[R-390] Penultimate recapping an R-390A

I think the he put into it looks beautiful. Hopefully he used Scotchbrite
pads and not "steel" wool. As has been stated the little rusting specks
would detract from the finish.

He could have used an anodizing kit on the raw aluminum, even leaving it
shiny. There are sealers for anodization that would make that finish last
forever. He would need to use a small finishing tool to remove the
anodization from where screws need to make an electrical contact as in
theory, anodized finishes are electrically insulated.

His wiring work looks neat, under the RF deck was pretty clean. I did not
see much of what he did inside of the RF/IF cans.

The previous owner of one of my receivers was very much into making the
radio spotless and shiny. Fortunately he did not get crazy with parts
changeouts and after fixing a slight cam misalignment/ dead band and a top
to bottom alignment I ended up with a great radio.
