My T.R. McElroy Deluxe MAC bug arrived yesterday. It's a 1938B, faux
marble finish, as near mint as eighty years will allow for and has the
spring pre-loader. There are a couple of non-standard screws and the
feet are all dried out.
On the same day my complete set of MAC replacement parts and hardware
arrived from 2BRadio. Of course, I'm going to adjust it and try it out
before I monkey around replacing anything.
While I'm temporarily QRT here, I'd really like to locate a drawing of
this key, similar to what is available for Vibroplexes.
Does anyone know of an internet site where such a document can be
obtained??
Also, does anyone - from his or her own experience - have any warnings
or heads-ups regarding parts replacement and proper adjustment? I'm all
ears here....
I'm QRT until next Thursday and don't even have an oscillator to try the
key out with. Very frustrating. I traded in my TS-590SG on a new
TS-890S and they are both enroute in both directions, somewhere between
Texas and New York.
