[R-390] R-390 Z501 success !!

[Frank Hughes]

Hi,
The mysterious (to me) Z501 has been adjusted on the "tailgate" R-390,
thanks to the kind advice from members here!

I had hoped to keep going in the TM to the next steps tonight, then the
house well pump started acting up!

We need the water for normal things in the house, but it also runs the heat
pump, as it is a water source system.
It is HOT here, comfort for the XYL and the rest of the critters in the
house took
priority the remainder of the evening.

Anyway, thank you very much, more progress on the R-390 soon!

While I totally agree that complete dis-assembly is best for cleaning and
subsequent lube, I just don't have the hours available, need a working
R-390 for AM nets operational by Winter, a pretty R-390 is for after I
retire: May-2017!

The ultrasonic cleaner idea is perfect, but mine is tiny- fits a couple of
1911's, nothing larger (sigh).
Next time I purchase an ultrasonic cleaner, I will strive to obtain one so
large that the R-390 RF deck and/or an M2HB fits in (sans barrel, of course)
