I got out my old meter just the other day . My nephew got a cb and I told him he needed it to be matched. He could figure out why is wasn't able to talk to people. When he drove up I saw his antenna. It was a cheap magnetic mount. That was less than a foot high. So I gave him one of my fire sticks.
Saw this video last week and snagged one still NIB off eBay. Calibration knob had the jitters but a shot of tuner cleaner and a spritz of D-Ox smoothed it out. I like everything about the meter. It looks and works great, and would be perfect if I had the equipment to calibrate it internally. I'm glad I found your video!
Hi WagonMaster. Thats a nice swr meter. When I was young....(It sounds just like the beginning of a Supertramp song...) I had the Royce Model 2-098 Watt & Swr Meter 10 Watt-100 Watt and that was nice too. It had 2 pcs of large meters. Unfortunately I sold all that equipment when I was 20 years old.... must have had other things on my mind....
Great video and resto 390, nicely done! HD phased out Crustolium wrinkle and hammertone or is still phasing out the paint for Behr which is most likely hand mixed by Don Julio south of the border, just a different can!..😏👍
Have you ever tried the black Wrinkle paint? I like using wrinkle paint. spray it on thick and hit with a heat gun comes out nice. That turned out really good. My old Royce 23 channel radio needs the paint like your meter has on it. Awesome job 390
@@390WagonMaster No I get mine from auto parts store. or from Automotive catalogs. It works pretty good. Have to lay it on thick and hit it with heat gun or hair dryer to speed up the process. I dont think I have seen it used on any radios. I like the hammer tone style paint look.

NIBN NIce !!
Seeing that your meter is NIB then I honestly would not worry about calibration.
Enjoy your little gem. Thanks for watching and Cheers.
Thanks for the video. Just picked one of these up from Ebay.
Like the woodgrain I have the dual meter one thank you for sharing have a great day

I have never tried that paint, is that commercial stuff?

my favorite is the MT703. robyn, jana, sentry, even cardon had their name on them
I looked up that Robyn meter... NICE!
