[R-390] Greetings extended

[jkharvie]

Hello Barry,Thanks,  it has been a while....my holiday was 19 years.  Regarding paint formulations.  Black and gold paint can be used to generate a very respectable outcome, I used an eye dropped to adjust the quantity of gold to black ratio.  I also tried a gray powder coat, worked,  but the application was a few thousands of an inch in excess and had started to fill in some of the relief engraving in the front panel.  I filled in the white lettering with  white Engravocolor Stick (great stuff). The outcome looks pretty good considering the starting point....  Does this list server now support enclosure of pictures, if not I can send a link.John

Welcome back.  I just started back on my R390 restoration I started about two years ago.  I painted the front panel with some not-so-great Rustoleum which never hardened properly.  I think it was a new formulation because I've had very good results with Rustoleum in a rattle can before and this was a new style can.  Hopefully I can get a new can of the old-style and try again.  Fun stuff.
Thanks,Barry

To all those who may remember me from the late 80's and early 90's when I was younger, I extend a "Warm Hello", and good to be back.
I have returned to my bench of R390A and related receiver restoration.
Looking forward to our conversations.
John
