[R-390] 17mc osc. working?

[wb3fau55 at neo.rr.com]

Well, folks we still do not have a definitive answer as to if the 17mc
osc IS working. Tests done do not give that answer. You could trade
the 17 mc xtal from the xtal osc section. Mine had a different
problem- some traded the ferrite slugs with type used in the RF
section, as most of you know, these have a different permeabiity.
Looking at the slugs in the 17mc section, they have a green tint to
them and you may find a green dot on the top. In the RF section, they
are grey and you will find a red and white dots on top. The slugs are
mechanically interchangeable.  So, did this ever work properly? Rule
out each section for working properly before digging elsewhere. 73s
