[ARC5] ARC-5/R-25 tuning gang question

[J Mcvey]

I was afraid that it got "ham-mered" ( very appropriate term) and so it also seems to be the consensus here. I got as far as putting a scope on the oscillator yesterday and got a very clean looking sine wave, but didn't measure the frequency. The IF's are 705 KHZ which I think is correct for the R-25.Had to restore this one back to 24V operation too. The plan was to sit it in a rack next to the BC453,for the lower frequencies, but now I wonder if it's still a 160M radio.
I may as well finish this up and see what I have since I have already put a bit of effort into it already.  
The lesson learned is to COMLETELY inspect a radio before starting a restoration/repair. IF I had seen that variable cap, I probably wouldn't have put all those hard to find parts back in it. Otherwise it looks like new inside and out. I judged this book by it's cover....

Also possible.  Thanks for reminding me, Ken.
