[Collins] [Boatanchors] R-388 Dial Drum

[Al Parker]

Hi Joe,
	Sounds like you're right, I didn't think the dial cord could be done 
wrong, but guess so.  The manual shows it, tho' I didnt just look.  I 
have a cupla different manuals, probably at lest 1 in .pdf - if you 
don't have one I'll send you one.
	They're great rcvrs.  Getting the bias right can be fussy, but not a 
bad chore.  I've got info on that & more IIRC.
73,

On mine, that works properly, but the dial drum does the opposite (e.g, turning the bandswitch counter-clockwise indicates the next lowest band instead of the next highest).
