[Drake] Anyone building the Drake Xtal Eliminator from Jun '04 QST?

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Folks:

Is anyone on this reflector building the Drake Xtal Eliminator (Hageman) 
from the June 2004 issue of QST?  Somehow, I'd have expected to see quite a 
bit of discussion on this project here, and there's been virtually none 
(unless I've completely missed it). OR... is this project being discussed 
on-line elsewhere? If so, where?

I have the project build and running, and I'm in the process of 'boxing' it 
up inside an MS-4 Speaker enclosure, along with the AC-4 as well.

Today, I'm going out to try to find an economical (hopefully) screen 
printer who will agree to make a front grille cover for the MS-4 similar to 
that shown by the author in the top photo at:

My design will be only slightly different in that it will include the MS-4 
logo below the frequency selection switch.

If you are building this project and MIGHT be the least bit interested in 
obtaining such a front grille cover, PLEASE drop me a note immediately. I'm 
sure that if the cost of having this cover screen printed can be spread 
over several copies, it will be to all our advantages.

I will supply a copy of the image I'm planning on using upon your e-mailed 
request.
