[Novice-Rigs]

Nice job, Mike.  It looks almost like the original with the exception of
the rocker switch and the knobs.  I bought mine second hand in 1963 and
one of the first things to fail was the slide switch.  I replaced it with
a regular toggle switch.  Mine also has many other modifications made
back in the mid-60's.  Whoever thought it would ever become a
"collectable" at that time?  hi.  I've had many enjoyable QSO's with mine
over the years.

73,
