| On a recent visit to my good friend John WA0ENE, I was given a R390A receiver to restore. I've always wanted a 390 since my old Navy Morse days. Now I
have one to restore. Click on each link for details on each section of the restoration. I hope that some if these details help future restorations. |
| Antenna Relay Block: The "unbalanced" connector was broken. See how I repaired and converted
it for an SO239 connector. IF Module: The IF module was original with the exception of a SSB product detector modification added by a previous owner. The AF module was in such good shape that I don't think it warrants a separate page. I cleaned it and replaced 2 audio caps with .022 mf to broaden the audio response. Front Panel Removal: Removing the front panel and cleaning the controls and switches. Oscillator Module: Cleaning The Oscillator Module. RF Sub Chassis: Restoring the RF Sub Chassis Chassis cleaning and re-assembly Cleaning the chassis and re-assembly for testing. Front Panel Painting and Final Assembly Painting and Final Assembly
