OK, Ed and anyone else who needs them.

There are 5 separate PDF articles on these mods. Since I am not sure which mods have 
been attempted on your receivers, I will send them all. I suspect the one that is of most 
importance to you is the one labeled, Ultimate_Super_Pro. BTW that article was not written 
by Lee, but Reed in 1957 for CQ magazine and is 9 pages long.

Lee wrote one on adding/converting the Super-Pro for SSB, and Geissler wrote another 
article on modifying the Super-Pro.

Lee also wrote an article on modifying the AR-88 for "improved performance". I am not 
including that one.

Lastly, the service bulletin from Hammarlund (which I cannot find directly now, but will 
continue to look for it) is mentioned in detail in a Hints and Kinks. The capacitor suggested 
is a 3.3 pfd TC cap with as high a negative temperature coefficient as possible. N-750 will 
work, but an N-1500 was suggested by Hammarlund.

I will include all these PDFs to anyone who wishes to have them.
