Thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far with my BC-342 
restoration project. It is now 100% electrically perfect (-120 dBm 
sensitivity) and as good as my abilities allow cosmetically. I know you 
can't tell from the these pictures but it was in REALLY rough shape when I 
received it.

Here are my final two issues that I need help with.

1) Note in the pictures that the frequency tuning window is offset. How do I 
correct this? On my donor rig I did note that you can punch out the shaft 
pin, loosen the set screw and adjust it. That to me is not a great approach 
since there would only be one set screw holding it in place. Please advise.

2) Does anyone have a fuse holder like the one shown in the picture that you 
will sell me? I'm missing one. I can't locate this old type.

Thank you again for all your helpful advice. I'm pleased to bring back to 
life a 66 year old radio that was born on December 14, 1943. I will now 
return it to the person who gave it to me as a gift. It was the first radio 
he ever heard CW on as a kid.

Vry 73,
