Title: Slab Bacon R390A lives again!
Post by: WD8BIL on February 16, 2017, 08:32:52 AM
The last few days I've been working on the 390A. I found the 27K screen resistors in the 2nd and 3rd I.F. amps open.

I replaced them along with their associated bypass caps and the rig fired up just fine.

Is this a known weak spot and what else should I look for before closing this up?

Get the latest revision of the Y2K..............now on R3. Things which will bite you in the back side are clearly indicated.
