All,
I'm doing a complete rebuild of an original DX-60. New
capacitors, carbon comp resistors, new wiring harness, etc..
I will probably put it on eBay when I'm done.
Now for the questions:
Should I rebuild the AC power chord into a modern 3-prong unit
(w/ground) and a separate fuse, or just restore the original?
Should I plate the chassis (e.g. satin nickel) or just remove
the stains and polish?
Should I add in some zener diodes to correct the voltage drop
on the screen of V1 (the oscillator) which will eliminate the
chirp issues on 20/15/10 or leave it original?
Any other suggestions for modifications e.g. the WC3K audio
mods, that would benefit the sale?
All comments welcome. Thanks in advance.
73 - Ken
