[R-390] What is on the 390 chassis anyway

[Grayson Evans]

THANKS Bill, Tisha, et al…

Yes, I had to rub of the chromate in various locations due to corrosion and damage.  Not everywhere.  The chromate does not look like it was applied to areas where the chassis parts join.  on the panels and sides where i had to rub it off, I may as well take it all off since it won’t look right to see some of it on and some off.  

 I will experiment with Henry Rogers (radioblvd) technique of using a yellow tinted and thinned lacquer.  I was simply going to use some clear spray lacquer, but his idea is definitely better.  
Henry’s web site is great (even if it is totally retro - early 1990’s with text on a blue background).  I read all his stuff on the 390A.
There is an ART13 in a surplus yard here that is in excellent shape.  His page on ART13 restoration got me very interested in acquiring yet another project.  Hmmm, not sure I will live that long!

Thanks all,

Grayson
