Re: [IRCA] SP 600 /R390

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

A lot of 390A's and 390's tuning knobs are stiff, mine was redone by Chuck 
Rippel and turns very easily, takes no time at all to go from one end to the 
other. Lots of problems with these things are that they need to be redone 
which is not cheap but once they are gone over by someone good they are well 
worth having and using. The lubricant gets hard over the years, nowadays 
most use synthetic lube which does not harden, I think Dr. Z could add 
something here.
