[R-390] Meter Gaskets?

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

Tom M located the drawing package and they are hosted by Nick England.
The package appears very complete.
You could come close to building a R390A from the package.

I just forwarded the information.


The pdf version of all 1000 drawings are now posted here -

The categories are ones Tom used as labels
