That's what holds the xtal-filter 'rock' in a BC-312/342. We had
a DC-8 discussion recently so this counts. This isn't an octal-
socket fella, it's a screw-tab package that looks like a xmt mica cap.
My '312 had no xtal-filter action so I removed same. Looks like horrible
job but, upon removal of a IF can, quite easy.
Tried dang thing in a CMOS 4011 test osc. / 100kc calibrator. Ran
at 745kcs.
Dissambled, cleaned, & re-tested. Again 745kcs. Began loosening two
'clamp screws' & thing changed modes to 470kcs. Where it shud be.
Screws real loose & I'm hesitant to re-assemble.
Think rock 'X-Y cut' & 470 is mode down long axis & 745 up short one.
But my last name ain't Bliley or Knights.
Any shared experiences?
Thanks,
Marty
