[R-390] New R-390 RF Gain Control Purchasing

[Larry H]

I've heard back from 2 vendors.  This 1st one is the correct replacement .
The final quote from *BD Electronics Ltd. *is $175/piece for 20 pieces.
Seems a little high to me.

The second quote is the correct replacement (except the shaft is too
long).  The final quote from R&J Components Corp. is $33.25/piece for 10
pieces.

When I 1st let you know I was looking for a source for new RF pots, a few
of you expressed an interest.  So, if anyone would like to purchase a new
one for $33.25 + $4 shipping, let me know how many.  The quote expires in a
week, so let me know asap.  Remember, these have the long shaft on them.
Thanks.

Regards, Larry

PS: There's an RV4SAYSD502E on ebay right now for $54 + shipping.
