[Hammarlund] HQ-129x - Xtal Calibrator Puzzlement

[Barry H]

Nope -- none of the knobs have a push-pull switch.  Only way I could pull any out is with a big Vice Grips ;-)

What I'm gonna have to pull is the chassis.  It's just that the paint on the panel screws is perfect and I'll be the first one to mess 'em up.  OK, I'll put some tape on the screwdriver blade and go really slow ...

Ken beat me to it. It's been a while since I used it because of a bad
on/off switch, but I almost think the HQ-150 has this type of switch
included on it, stock. Browning out of Laconia, NH used this type of
switch on some of their gear and I've seen it on a few other examples,
too.

Does work slick, but if it's not stock and listed on the panel, it's
very easy to miss.
