[R-390] R390 Non A Upgrade Info Wanted

[Jacques Fortin]

Yo Perry,

I will write a list of all the parts I had to change in my R-390.
Maybe it will help others.
To come soon: how to PROPERLY fit 6080s into a R-390 (the 6082s are becoming a little scarce these days, were they made only by RCA ?).
Next will be how to replace those with something more "modern"... (horrible thing: a solid state solution, kind of, purists have to stop reading here)
I know that it was already done by others, but not the way I intend to do it...

Stay tuned.

73, Jacques, VE2JFE

Yo Bubba Dudes!,

 Uh being of unsound mind since I'm planning on moving 2,200miles in the coming future......

 Honest honey, this lonely R 390 was just sitting there onebay at such a low price, it uh just sorta, somehow err, followed me home.

 So now that I have my 2nd one (and the first one is stilluntouched after 5 years)

 ---Yes, please doctor adjust my meds---

 Oh yes, where was I? Ms. Pelosi?

 Ah yes! Now I remember.

 I am in the process of digitizing the OEM R 390  2 part ski from Andy Morrer's site.  This will be a long time coming.  What I wanted to do is incorporate in theski's is information of parts that are problematic.  Under-wattage resistors, leaky caps, parts toadd or improve or any information of that nature. Or tips or tricks that I canadd as annotations.  I will add anattribution list for those who contribute even if they are SK.  When done I'll make the BIT TIFF imageavailable on several sites or from me.

  For those who mightnot be familiar with the BIT type of image format it is only black orwhite,  no matter what print size ischosen -  so no smearing.  So one can go to Kinko's and for $10 get a24" X 48" print to put on the wall if needed.

 So please send me any information you have whenever using anoriginal email and I'll add it to a word file and eventually incorporate itinto the final schematics

   Regards,

   Perrier
