[R-390] R-390A help needed

Hello All,



My name is Karsten, I am SWL and new to this list. I live in the Western
part of Germany in the Dusseldorf area close to the Dutch border.

I have a very well working 51S-1 and a Capehart made R-390A. The R-390A
probably needs alignment. It is live on all bands but falls short of the
51S-1 on several. All 18 crystals and all tubes have been tested (crystals
tested by Quarz-Technik Daun GmbH) and replaced by new ones where necessary.
Can someone point me to a person who has special experience with R-390A /
R-390 radios? He / she should live within half day driving distance from my
QTH, i.e. surrounding parts of Germany, nearby parts of Netherlands,
Belgium, Luxemburg.



Thanks

Karsten
