[Boatanchors] HQ-170A with clock

[Rbethman]

Alex,

    I'm not afraid of doing an alignment at all.

    I prefer to check it out first, and determine the need before diving in.

    It certainly isn't my primary receiver.  It is one of those that I 
use infrequently.

    By the time I can get to it, I MAY just go ahead and rock and roll.  
It will depend on mood, time, and interest.

    The first project to finish is the restoration of a '51 Collins 
R-390A.  My next step in that one is the RF Deck and gear train.
