[Hammarlund] Hammarlund Digest, Vol 172, Issue 4

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Richard,

Be sure you are sitting down before reading further.













You could temporarily connect digital dial or dials (horrors) and get 
your receiver checked out. Maybe even use it a little bit that way. When 
you get the new mechanical dials of course install them and set the 
radio up to use those. Then use the digital hardware for something else.

If you have no further use for the digital dials (assuming you do this) 
you can feel free to send them to me for proper disposal <sly grin>. 
Just a suggestion. I have done such things for temporary and sometimes 
permanent use. But not to a nice old receiver like these.

73,

Bill  KU8H
