[R-390] Parts request

[Roger Ruszkowski]

Robert,

The front panel bolts are 10x32 and 8x32 bolts.

You can get the recessed head bolts at the tractor supply store.
Ace hardware use to have them.
Truevalue did also.

Your best hardware store in town should have them in stock.


If you are going to run tube shields then you need the good ones with the 
thermal wrapper inside that fits snug on the glass tube and carries the
heat out to the shield. If the shield does not have the wrapper inside, leave the
shield off. Long ago the old shinny silver shields were discarded
by the military. They understood that no shield was better than the shinny
shields shipped as original parts.

Run one clip on inside of IF deck to keep knob from being pulled out.
Run the Knob on the front panel snug to keep the shaft from being pushed in.

The shaft collar is the same as found on many switch assemblies
and one can often be salvaged from a switch shaft.

Try an E ring for a retainer. Again my Ace hardware offers
a small pack in various sizes as a set.

I hope some one offers you up the tube retainer 

Roger.
