[Hammarlund] Taking the plunge! Parts supplier?

[Brian Burns]

Hello All,

I'll be picking up the HQ-145 that I mentioned a couple of months ago, this week. Who do you like as parts suppliers? I'm looking for high integrity, not low price. I would like to know that NOS really means the contents of the box, not just the box (;->)...

The clock from the HQ-145 will be available as I want to replace it with the nifty little digital frequency counter available from ESP--here is the link:

I'm quite sure, from the first time that I fired it up (with a variac), that the HQ-145 clock works fine, and looks fine. Any idea what it's worth?

Thanks a lot for all the help and good advice in the past! I hope I have avoided a good swift kick by following through on this (:->)...

Cheers,

Brian Burns

P.S. G5RV goes up (way up!) on Tuesday. Study for the Extra Class ticket goes on. My old call is still available, so I'll go for that.
