While re-installing the heat sink as part of the 160/RX module
installation procedure, I managed to strip the threads on the 4-40 1/2"
screw holding Q7 in place. This was a black anodized screw. All I have
available locally is a 4-40 1/2" zinc coated machine screw. I used that
to put it back together. I checked for continuity/resistance of both
Q7 and Q8 collector to ground and that looks OK.
I may be just paranoid, but is there any problem using a zinc machine
screw instead of a black anodized one in this application?
