DE WB4VFN Rich and I am working on a HQ-129-x that a friend bought at a hamfest.  Someone did a fine job restoring the old rig but left some issues.  I think he put in a wrong bandspread dial.  To align the rig the books says to put the bandspread at 200.  This bandspread has a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 being minimum capacitance.  I got thru alignment with bandspread at 0 but when using the bandspread the frequency goes down as I tune from 0 up.  The dial looks like it belongs but it's like its installed backwards.  If this is the case any help on locating the right dial appreciated.  73 Rich
