38-690 chassis and tuner rubber washers? - sdradioman - 05-30-2019

Was wondering if someone could tell me the correct chassis mounting washers along with the RF subchassis mounting washers for a 38-690? I see Renovated radios list them for 690/116, but dont know if that means 37/38-690...

If you meant these

these are not for RF subchassis.


And these are specifically for 690

What messed with me is they both say chassis support... so the 1st ones are what support the chassis in the cabinet, I’m assuming 4 of them, and the set of 3 are for the tuner sub-chassis that sets on the main chassis?

To support the subchassis you need three - one rear and two sides.

There was also (haven't found it) a small grommet that goes in the tuning cap itself for the rotor support. But it is not for the chassis itself and you might or might not need it.

Trivia - the 2 side supports are slightly different from the one in the back.

Yes I think the back one has longer internal cylinder than the sides.
