[Drake] Drake 2B Modification 160m

[G3vtt at aol.com]

Hi Folks,
 
I'm restoring a Drake 2B and want to fit 160m to it. I seem to recall you  
used a 5.8 Mhz crystal in position 'A' and then fitted padding capacitors 
across  the preselector coils at position 'A.'
 
Does anybody recall that modification and can tell me the value of the  
extra capacitors? I assume they were trimmers of some sort to resonate the 
coils  at 1.9 Mhz. I know the sensitivity will be reduced but can accept that 
for local  work.
 
Oh yes.................I'm in the market for a matching 2BQ Q Multiplier if 
 anybody has one sculling around under the bench!
