[Boatanchors] NC 81X

[StephenTetorka at cs.com]

Thanks Bob, any help on the manual is greatly appreciated.

And I was wondering where the AF & RF controls were.

This is an intereting unit.
It seems like the bands are changed via a sliding comparment under the chassis.
There a sets of coils + var. caps wired within a cast metal housing the size of a cigar box that is moved across the receiver width via a panel control.
Reminds me of a well bucket arrangement sideways!

Regards,
Steve
