Hi Scott, et al,
	I have an R-4A which has had this done to it, makes it very nice.  The 
previous owner didn't like the non-stock idea, a toggle switch on the 
front panel to change SB's, and maybe didn't appreciate how  nice it 
was.  So I got it at a good price some yrs ago.  There was an article 
somewhere, one of the mags 15+ yrs ago I think, I should have a cc in my 
archives, I'll take a look.  I don't think the term "roofing filter" was 
in use back then.
73,
