[ARC5] BC-453-B Dial accuracy

[David Stinson]

First- How did you set the frequency for the
BFO and how did you align the IF?

Second- Look around the nut that holds the dial 
on the front of the radio.  Somewhere next to 
the nut should be pin- usually covered in black 
fixative paint- which goes through the dial and 
into the hub on the capacitor to which the dial 
is bolted.  If this pin is missing and the dial has 
rotated out of position, no amount of alignment
 will work.  If you don't see the pin, unbolt the 
dial.  You should see the hole in the hub and 
the hole in the dial.  A mid-diameter sewing 
needle can substitute.  Re-align once the dial
is in the right position.

If these aren't the problem,
send me your mailing address and I"ll send
you a known-good coil set to try.
