OH, so it is an R-725 wannabe?

 Jim, with all due respect, Byron is asking about the IF deck of a R-390 (a non-A, if you prefer).
No mechanical filter in there, but a 6 stages IF strip....

Where is S504?  I see S501, S502 and S503 but no S504 in the schematic or parts list.
I personally think that the 8kc mechanical filter now has a high insertion loss due to the internal "rubber" isolator turning into goo or perhaps a weld connecting a wire to a disk has failed.  I have seen both.  If one has any mechanical skill and patients, the filter can be repaired by careful disassembly and replacing the "rubber" isolator.  If it is a broken weld, the filter is toast.  The filter repair info is in the Pearls of Wisdom, IIRC.Regards,Jim
