Hello John,
                 It may take me a few weeks to get to it, but could you 
either send me a pic of exactly what you're looking for, or describe it to 
me as best as possible. I have a CentraLab kit of pots that exhibit various 
impeadances and ratings. If I have something that will work, it's yours old 
top!

Sincerely Yours,
                        Joe Cro N3IBX

Hi Al,

The radio is solid-state. A Formal Reprimand will be coming to you from the 
NJARC Compliance Comittee. This is your first offense -- three strikes, 
you're out!

All kidding aside, that set is way cool! I found a youtube video featuring 
that radio.
