[R-390] IERC Tube Shields - Brand New

[Jacques Fortin]

The IERC TRN6-6015B are not the good size shields for the tubes like the 5814, 12AX7 and etc.
They were made for the shorter 9 pin tubes like the 5670, 6688, etc.
The correct IERC part for the 5814, 12AX7, etc. is TRN6-6020B.
And yes, I am also searching for the TRT5-5020Bs for years.

I wish to thank Rich for his posting here.  He has an item I would have bought after my parts post last week.  The only "list" I found in the great information on R-390A.net for tube shields said to use 6020B's, so that's what I was searching for and was glad to find that something else would work.  I STILL need what looks like 13 of the 5020B ones for all these 6BA6's and 6C4's if anyone has a stash of those.  The only one left in the rig I am working on was on the 3TF7!  The rest were all the shiny shields.

I still need a couple of the shaft coupler clamps like used on the BFO pitch and Bandwidth shafts to the IF deck and a couple of Oldham coupler anti-backlash springs, or a source for a replacement.  I do think I found an assortment of small springs on Amazon that just might have a couple of those springs in it, so I'll probably order it if I don't come up with anything else.

I recognize that postage is high, and parts this small aren't really worth a vendor's time to dig out, pack and ship, so likely I won't find what I want and will end up using some old "standard" shaft couplers on my other R-390A needing the clamps.
Thanks,
Don
