[AMRadio] BC-610 Xtal Holder

[Bob Peters]

Was a good answer...
If it helps any, the crystal socket on a beastly 610 tuning unit perfectly 
fits a double banana plug.  Mount a standard FT-243 holder on a double plug 
and voila, instant adapatron.

Also, a recent issue of Electric Radio featured a simple cure for the FM 
hum that is common to the BC-610 VFO.
