[EICO] Test and questions

[Birtcher William A NPRI]

Greetings all,
 This message is a test to see if I've signed up to the Eico list correctly, to see if it's still active, and to ask a 
 few Eico-related questions.

 For background, I've been licensed since 1963 but the only Eico product I've owned (until recently) was a 722
 VFO my folks bought for me when I received my General in 1964. (remember those days when we could put
 the crystals away?)  I ultimately got rid of that vfo, but have been able to find another one recently, along with 
 a good 720. 

 I'm currently restoring a pair of 723 transmitters and am looking for the front trim piece for one of them, if anyone
 has a unit that is being parted out or can suggest a source.

 Also, now that I've gotten the 723s to the point of transmitting, I'm wondering if the 30-35 watts out is about as
 good as I'm going to do?  Also, they each have a very bouncy meter; doesn't seem to have any mechanical
 damping, and am wondering if that's normal?  Any general advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks,
