[R-390] R-390/390A Tuning slug repair?

[Renee K6FSB]

Larry-
if you think about it there really is no stress if aligned properly and 
if it is a little off or takes a little push/pull. therefore it should 
work fine just as designed. do know the strings come in different gauges 
and winding materials.
