[Central-Electronics] CE-100V Xtal Oscillator

[w7fe]

Hello Joe,

Glad to hear that another 100V will soon be back on the air!  I presume that 
you are following the excellent restoration advice presented on K5EF's CE 
site. Doing all of the things that Nick suggests will produce a high 
probability of success.

As to your missing 10M HF oscillator output, the likely problems are (1) a 
defective crystal (or poor integrity of the seating in its socket) and (2) 
maladjustment of the 10M coil to just past the peak (at which point 
oscillation ceases),  Following your verification that (1) and (2) are not 
the source of the loss of oscillation, the next choice is perhaps corrosion 
and resulting poor conductivity of the bandswitch contacts in the 10M HF 
oscillator  section.

Good luck with your restoration and please keep us informed as to your 
progress..
