[AMRadio] Type of glue to use

[Alan Gray]

If it helps, the plastic strips used in the B&W 850 coils is, indeed,
plexiglas.  Any plastics supplier should be able to supply the appropriate
material and adhesive to repair your 850.

By the way, B&W was a local company here in the Philadephia area (Bristol,
PA to be exact).  Up until a few years ago, you could buy replacement spacer
strips directly from the factory (their former sales manager, W3EOZ, was a
good friend of mine and I got my replacement parts- plastic strips, spare
contacts, etc- through him.  Now that they've moved to NJ (Mount Laurel)
under new ownership, I'm not sure what the situation is ?

At any rate, best of luck with your repairs.

Alan, W3BV
