[Boatanchors] Want to Buy: Dial Drum for HXL-ONE

[Freeberg, Scott (STP)]

I bought a very nice HXL-ONE amplifier from Hank Arney and it has a =
modification that I want to undo.  A previous owner added the tuned =
input filters (factory supplied mod) but for some reason did not gang =
that switch with the frequency switch. Instead an additional control was =
brought out of the screw hole on the left side of the power switch.  The =
screw hole was enlarged to 3/8" to accept a threaded panel bushing. A =
flexible coupling connected the control to the tuned input switch.  The =
original configuration uses a dial drum on the frequency switch (top of =
chassis) and passes dial cord through a slot in the chassis to the =
matching dial drum attached to the tuned RF switch (below chassis).  Its =
your typical radio dial drum arrangement where each detent of the =
frequency switch also switches the tuned RF switch.

I removed the control and bushing and measured the enlarged hole.  I did =
note that the hole is just about 0.1 inches wider than the original =
screw head diameter.  So I was figuring on locating just a tad wider =
diameter screw head to fill that position, and maybe the other screw on =
the right side of the power switch. =20

Anyway, the owner removed the under chassis bracket support for holding =
the 1/4" shaft and dial drum.  I'm bending up a new bracket here at =
work, the 1/4" shaft and coupling will be easy, and buying a simple =
nylon bushing from Mouser. =20

What I need is a standard 1 3/8" dial drum for a 1/4" shaft. Admittedly =
I didn't remove the dial drum and measure. Instead I measured it in =
place.  If you have a junker HXL-ONE, maybe you'd consider selling me =
the bracket as well as the drum.  If you have a drum in the junk box, =
that would be great also! Can you help me here? =20

I will try to put a photo of the drum up on the web tonight and I'll =
post a link tomorrow. =20

Thanks.  73, Scott WA9WFA
