[HBR] HBR 16

[David Newman]

I think  the Eddystone is horizontal from shape of the box.  It was in 
storage, I found it, and put it in the garage.  Still not opened from 
1960s.


Where do you get Ball Brothers vernier drive?  Is this just the drive, 
no dial?  I was thinking maybe for the home brew XMTR VFO.
