It wasn't the great WEB sites, threads, curiosity or fountain of knowledge
available.
It was the interminable "how to send e-mail" discussion that finally moved
me to pull my '67 EAC out of the rack, clear the workbench and start to work
on it.

The last time I had it open for an alignment was at least 10 years ago.
After my back straightened out, I took off the covers and except for some
dust and cobwebs, it is as clean as I remember it.

There is a COSMOS PTO, a full set of black IERC shields and the power
supply, Oscillator and IF decks are EAC.  I can't tell about the RF module
until I pull it.
Someone added a BNC jack to the rear panel.  It is labeled "SM output" and
RG-174 leads to the RF deck.  Otherwise it is pristine.

I could probably get away with a quick re-alignment, but I am going to
replace the recommended capacitors, add a three wire AC cord and clean and
grease the gears.  I have replacements for the filter caps, they are sitting
on a power supply reforming.

I will inform the group on my progress.

Happy New Year,

Jim
