R-390A First power up - Part 2

This is a video of a first power up of my Stewart-Warner R-390A, that I bought it from another ham that was tired of tripping over it and straining his back from moving it around. It was purchased in non-working condition, and had had some prior unsuccessful attempts at repairs. The main problems that it had were in the IF section where a shorted cap caused a fire in it first IF amp cavity. It also needs some slugs, a crystal, some jumpers and some other general mechanical work.
