[R-390] Are R-390A Drawings Stored Somewhere?

[Bob Camp]

Hi

A quick random check of the “small parts knobs” category:

They stuck the name plate in there.

They have a very normal tuning capacitor in that category.

They also have an assembly of tuning caps. 

I mention this only to illustrate the amount of “fun” that will be had 
sorting this stuff into more rational categories. Past that, there’s the 
ID process of “ok it’s a section of some wafer switch … which one is it?”.

Yes, you could simply rename the category “other stuff we didn’t 
know where to put” :) :). My guess is that’s a better name for it. 

Indeed we’ve come a long way in a short time. The PDF’s that I sampled
all look great. Since I’m on a Mac, that may or may not apply to the rest
of the world.  

There’s still fun to be had.

Bob
