I know the Invader has had a reputation for a drifting VFO. Whether
this is deserved or not is beside the point. Has anyone out there
preformed the factory recommended VFO modifications of moving all the
frequency determining components to the above chassis VFO box and
installing a separate, always on, filament transformer for the VFO
tube? If so do you have any personal opinions, hard data, or just other
observations as to its effect?
I have 3 Invaders to refurbish. This modification looks to be real PITA
job. I would like to know something about it before I start. The
details of this modification are in a factory letter I have dated
December 1962.
