[R-390] R390-a repair in Minnesotta

[Roger Ruszkowski]

Bill,
If the R390 is rebuilt and in good working order, it could 20 years
needing nothing more than tubes and alignment.
 
The Fellows here on the R390 reflector have talked more than 
new guy through extensive R390 repairs.
 
Once the Fellow has a good R390 and then finds himself in need of 
getting it serviced, He can ask for some help with it.
It could be years before the receiver needs work and the lot
of fellows around to do work is always changing.
 
Sell the Fellow a receiver and help him get signed up here on the reflector
and help him get to the R390.net pages where he can find the history and documents.

If you had to wait for a mechanic in the neighborhood before you brought a car
neither Ford or Chevy would have ever sold one.

A person is interested in purchasing a rebuilt R390-a from me and he has no
technical knowledge.  He operated one in VN and really wants one.  I have
been trying to talk him out of the purchase as if he even has a simple
repair problem he will be lost.  Below is his email.

 

"I am still dreaming about having a 390.  Your observations about my lack of
electrical skill are right on.  If I had a 390, and if it needed repair,
would it be difficult to find some one in my area, Minneapolis, MN, to
repair it for me?  I know you do not know all the specifics about the area,
etc...   but - generally - would it be difficult to get one repaired???"

My answer to him is yes - it would be difficult to get repairs unless there
was someone close to him.  

 

Is there anyone in the Twin City area that could offer help if needed?

 

73,
