[R-390] Fwd: R-390A Antenna Trimmer Repair

[Larry H]

Thank you Francesco, for the very good ideas.  After I was assembling the
doc, I realized I forgot to take a pic of the insulating ring installed on
the cap.  The red dot goes on the gear at a 90 degree angle to the pin in
the shaft.  Orientation of the shaft is not important as the cap is the
same at 180 degrees.

Regards, Larry
