[R-390] freq jump and no rx below 8mc

[wb3fau55 at neo.rr.com]

Folks-  freq. jump is due to broken ferrite rod in PTO. No RX below
8mc is caused by no function of 17mc mixer osc. must 1st check this
xtal in octal can. Could be MIA?  You have no tube tester?- Need known
good spares for this area. Check see if this var. IF moves properly
with freq change.  You could be as unlucky as me, someone removed
small value caps from my project in this stage. i had to remove RF
deck 3 times before i got it right!  i will stay posted for followups
