Re: [Elecraft] OT: Searching for Panel Meter for R390A/URR

[Lewis Phelps]

Wow, what a great find, Jim!

I was communications officer on a US Navy ammunition ship during the Vietnam 
conflict.  The radio room had half a dozen R390A receivers that we used for 
receiving the fleet broadcast and for ship-shore and ship-ship communications. 
It was an impressively capable receiver, probably the best ever made in the 
vacuum tube era.  The mechanical aspects of the radio were staggeringly 
complex, so maintaining them must have been a real challenge.
 
Good luck finding the meters.

[Elecraft] OT: Searching for Panel Meter for R390A/URR

[Jim Sheldon]

I realize this is a really long shot asking on the Elecraft reflector, 
but I'm posting to a few others as well.


During my 20 year Army career, I repaired the R390 and R390A receivers 
plus taught others to repair them as well.  This morning at a local 
tailgate swapfest I was actually given an R390A in working condition, 
but it's missing it's Carrier Level and Line Level meters.  I'd like to 
restore it to look like it did when it was in Military service.


If anyone out there has either the Carrier Level meter or Line Level 
meter for an R390 or R390A that they're willing to part with, please 
contact me off list with your asking price.
