[R-390] 6082 tube SS replacement

[Tom Bridgers]

Just got off the phone with Tom, N3LLL, and had a great conversation about our hobby and what he is doing in retirement with electronics (particularly with the oil and gas companies).

Lots of really cool projects going on...

In addition to the 6082 tube replacement kit, he also has replacement kits for the ARC5 Rx capacitors and an interesting inverter replacement that mates  perfectly with the shock mounts and three finger dynamotor power socket on the rear deck of the receiver.

Really neat stuff!

He also has kits for R388 and 75S1 series of Collins receivers.

An interesting side note, Tom is originally from Lima, Ohio - and spent many, many hours scrounging parts at Fair Radio Sales!!
