Jim and the group,

	Thanks for sharing the pictures.  I'd agree...probably the same or 
very similar electrically to the EAC 6U8 mod already discussed.  
Considerably different though in some cosmetic/front panel details. 
Maybe an earlier implementation?   Different layout of the 6U8 
subassembly. You can compare your pics with my SSB mod pics at:

	Note the lack of a VFO vernier on my version.  For my tastes, I'd 
like to have some kind of vernier for SSB, and especially for CW when 
I use an outboard audio filter.  Is the vernier electrical or a 
mechanical type?  

	My panel is silkscreened by the way in case anyone is interested.

		Thanks again for sharing the pics.
