[Boatanchors] RE HRO-60

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

It may not help, but the E coilset for an HRO-50 will work just fine.  Possibly, the E coilset for an HRO-7 would also work.  SOME older coilsets will also work, but there is a danger to either the coilset contacts or the fingers in the radio if not done VERY carefully.  No personal experience, but that is stated in several references.

Let eBay watch for what you want.  Do a search for whatever you want, then save the search.  eBay will email you whenever the item gets listed.  That's how I got my AA, AB, AC, AD, E, F, G, H, and J coilsets.

​G;morning   all

Many  thanks  to those  who  responded  with  assistance on the   band
change problem......  certainly  no  'O' ring in my  radio !.. In lieu of
a    small 'O' ring  I'm proposing to  heat shrink  a   few  layers of
tube over the  spot.

I need  the  unobtainable 'E'  box... failing  that  has there ever been
any  attempt to  modify  a  lower  frequency box to  cover that  range.?  I
realise  the  job appears formidable  and  time  consuming.  Coil  details
would  be  the  most important  detail.
Info  appreciated  as is the  assistance to  date..... in meantime I'll
continue  with  rebuilding the    xtal  calibrator which   a previous
owner modified to  use  only  the   100khz  xtal..  I  assume the  1.000mHz
failed or  found  redundant   I have both available.
Cheers
Pete.
