Hi all!  
I am in a very happy mood!  I decided to pull the HW-16 that I got for
Christmas and built in 1975 off the shelf and troubleshoot it.  It was
simple, clean the tube sockets and pots, power it up, check the voltages and
then put the tubes in and check voltages again.  All checked well, including
the electrolytic caps...in spec!!!
Now, I have to ask:  Does anyone have any crystals for this rig that you
might want to part with so that I can put it back on the air?
Also, does anyone have a front panel lying around as the paint is flaking
off of mine and I'd like it to look as close to new as possible again.
Thanks, 
73,
