Hi Group,
I just received 2 sets of Rear Panel Tools for the R390A provided by Chris Farley. The tools are very high quality and shipping was fast.
Chris had the right angle bristol wrench faithfully replicated by a shop that knows what they are doing. The fit and finish as well as the functionality oe both tools is TOP SHELF. The bristol tool rod is a nice stainless steel piece and where the bristol wrench fits the tool shaft it is pressed in and crimped with a small crimp to keep the blade stable.
The #1 screwdriver is better than the original due to the hardened tip. The handle is slightly wider than the original I have but I consider this to be a very reasonable replica of the original.
A set on the rear of your 390A is a very nice touch even if you only want them to make your unit complete. However, these tools are ready to go to work on your work bench as well.
I will now include a set on all of my restorations as icing on the cake for my clients; nice touch! Perhaps other 390A restorers will take advantage of supplying these to their clients while they are being re-manufactured. .
Nice job Chris!!! You get FIVE STARS in my book * * * * * !!
Now if someone will take on having QUALITY replacement meters made!! Hint hint!!
