[Hammarlund] Wrong bandspread dial ??

[Bill Stewart]

Hi Rich, 

Your friend will like the 129-X...real nice for AM, SWBC and even CW. My 129-X bs dial is 0-200 and is P/N 6051. Turn my bs knob cw and the freq/log scale goes up in value. My rcvr came out before we got 15 mtrs so it has no 21 mc bs on the dial. Good luck and a Merry Christmas...

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
