Title: Chuck Rippel
Post by: flintstone mop on October 21, 2005, 04:20:11 PM
Does anyone know if Chuck Rippel has a PM on this forum?
I have searched almost everywhere and all I get is returned mail from other sites that carried his R390A repairs and tips.

I am looking for some coils to replace one or more coils that are crapped in the RF deck of my R-390A. Dunno what happened to the beast.
Thanks
Fred

Hey Fred, before you replace the coils, take them apart and replace the parallel capacitors. I had a few caps go bad in mine (intermittantly)... Mine were the mica type, and most were bad... Replaced them with ceramic disc's and no problem since then...
