[Johnson] Pacemaker RF Phasing Unit

[David C. Hallam]

Bob,

Your post is interesting because I have a Pacemaker sitting on the back 
shelf in my workshop with the same problem.  It's been sitting there 
ignored for a couple of years after I gave up on getting 90 degree phase 
shift on 20M.  It 's  been awhile since I worked with it so I don't 
remember exactly what I did with the module but I did pull it and 
replace some thing(s) inside it.  It wasn't too bad of a job to pull it.

If you find any solution to the problem, I would like to know.

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, 
then you've made a measurement.
If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
