[R-390] Antenna Trim trouble

Well, my first attempt to remove the roll pin was not a success...The pin 
didn't budge and the roll pin punch bent. I'll try the freeze/torch process 
and I hope that works. The punch I used was 1/16" which appeared to center 
and fit properly, but it was/is a fairly cheap tool. I may look for a 
tougher type of punch.

My problem did not appear to be grounding of the AGC line, only slight 
scratching as I turned the Ant Trim control, so using my Sprague TO-6, I 
tried to see if I could provoke "leakage" using the insulation resistance 
test of the TO-6, but to no avail...

That's all for now...
