A special thanks for the help goes to- Steve k7dna and Clif KA5IPF
-for clearing-up what I thought was a problem with the tuning
system. After re-assembling the VFO, and installing it back into the
rig - I have "zeroed" it and it hits "0" when the digital reads
"0.0". With the help of the K4EAA capacitor kit, the B+ 460V has
gone up to B+ 830V key-down. Sweet!
The rig is in good physical shape for its age; no scratches, chips,
or cracks. Compressed air and a paint brush took the very-thin layer
of dust off the boards. Overall, I believe the rig was
"original-parts", even the WARC [TOF] disable line was intact! The
only non-factory modification was a "Phone-Patch" connection using
the pre-drilled holes in the unit. A fun restoration, but the best
part is this rig fits in better with the Collins S-Line stuff around it!
