[Elecraft] #6107 - First Snag

[Darwin, Keith]

Oh, yes, I remember.  That blasted bail!

We can buy pre-wound toroids - someone needs to sell a pre-mounted bail!

I think I put my bail in a vise and tried to squeeze it down a bit.  I
also used some of the longer screws to get things started then swapped
them out once it was together.

IMO, the bail is the most difficult piece of the assembly.

I used longer screws while assembling the thing and then changed them
out, carefully!, one at a time to screws of the correct length.

There were some great discussions on the forum a few years ago about the
tilt bail. Lots of different ideas about how to get the blasted thing
installed. A check of the archives might give you some ideas ...
certainly it will give you a few laughs, and you won't feel like the
only cave-man in the forum.
