[Boatanchors] Hammarlund HQ-180A Clock ??

[Jim Wiley]

Many years ago, when I was using a HQ-170A as my main station receiver, 
I removed the clock and installed a crystal oscillator module that 
allowed me exact frequency selection for some of the 75 and 40 meter 
traffic nets that I participated in.  It had a switch that selected the 
proper crystal, removed b+ from the variable HFO, and routed the "new" 
HFO signal to the mixer.  I think I used a 6EA8 as an oscillator / 
buffer.  It worked really great.  Unfortunately, I have since misplaced 
the drawings, after all this was 45 years ago, but it shouldn't be all 
that hard to figure out what needs to be done from the description.
