[R-390] R-390a Refurbishing questions

[gary.biasini at shaw.ca]

Good day,

 

I composed this email yesterday and sent it but Outlook shows no evidence of
that unfortunately.  I am hoping for some help from the group.

 

In cleaning up 2 R-390a receivers:

 

1.	I lost one spring from the RF rack - can anyone point me to where to
buy replacements?
2.	I dropped one RF rack and a ferrite rod broke in 3 pieces - can I
just glue them back together and will they work as expected?  If so, what
glue is recommended? If not, can anyone point me to where to buy
replacements?
3.	When looking at the bare chassis after removing the RF and IF
modules, on one radio, the grounding comb is installed with the teeth
pointing to the right, away from the IF chassis and in the other, it is
pointed to the left, towards the IF chassis.  Which is correct or does it
matter?

 

Thank you.
