[R-390] R390, SP 600, other receivers

[Glenn Scott via R-390]

Hi group,


I have a fair amount of new waxed line I use for R390, SP600 and other receivers. The line I have is more white than the yellowish stuff used in these receivers but looks great. For an SASE, I'll send enough line and then some for 1 receiver. The 390A manual has the stitch procedure and it's easy once you get started..Please, I am not making this offer for stockpiling material but rather to anyone who really plans to rework his/her own receiver harness.


 I have replaced harnesses with old brittle wire with new Teflon coated wire and it's not that bad if you take your time.. I figure about 7-8 hours for a 390A and this includes removal building the harness and rewiring it back in, including front panel and connectors. This is having everything ready and buzzing out your work before powering your receiver back up. First time rewiring a receiver,, expect it taking twice as long, like most things. Ebay has proven to be a good source for Teflon wire in bulk, although, I don't have exact matches for every wire color combination but I do provide a chart with the new color designations with the receiver..  


It goes without saying, have all of your new wire ready before starting this project. Also, a digital camera to take pics as you go can save you a lot of grief during such an undertaking..
