Gerry-

You have been of immense assistance Gerry!

Thank you ever so much for your very detailed
instructions on alignment of the band flags. This is a
fabulous example of the wealth of information
available here. It is not available in the
Hallicrafters TW-1000/1000A/2000 service instruction
manual I have.
