[John McCarty]

Robert and All;

	O.K., I didn't explain myself well. I replaced the selenium with a little
silicon bridge before I even applied power the first time. I found a multi cap
bathtub that was shorted from A+ (if I remember correctly) to case. Still has
low A voltage.

	I forgot to tell Ken, the rig covers 3.8 to 5.8 Mc
