Ken:

>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?

Other than for aesthetic purposes, NONE whatsoever!
