[Central-Electronics] VFO for 10B and 20A (Tisha)

[Tisha Hayes]

Last year I found a CE 458 on ePay and picked it up for around $90. I was
expecting something that was hacked up, in desperate need of painting.

I was quite surprised, it was an estate sale from someone who did not know
what they really had. The SK who had owned the unit had maintained the unit
in immaculate condition. Because of the poor description on the listing most
ePay lurkers had missed it. I am certain that with a better description it
would have demanded a higher price.

I did have to replace a great many of the components to improve the
stability and it is still no-where near as stable as most any other VFO. Of
course the 20A needed work and the MM-2 was an electrocution hazard.

If you can find one, the factory modded CE 458 is a real treat. Some of the
home-modded BC-458's look terrible and work worse.
