I knew I should have waited a bit longer before posting that one. I must
be high... (Subtle binary humor purely intentional)

I like to go through the postings and save the ones with good technical
advice and info. Someday I'm probably gonna have to put it to use. I might
even try to do the pto alignment. But for now, my old motorola keeps
chugging along, in spite of having solid state rectifiers, resistors
instead of a ballast tube and some old meter that I cut the shunt resistor
out of for carrier strength (I can hear the shrieks out there now). Not to
mention a mixture of black and silver tube shields. For anyone new out
there with one of these, in my humble opinion it does not take much more
than a good alignment as long as everything else is in good working order.
I used to fiddle with it every so often, but it seems to hold alignment
for a VERY long time, so I haven't messed with it for a while. I've never
had too much money to sink into this thing so I've always had to make do
with what was handy. But I am in no means of a mind to hack it up with too
many mods. I've just done what I needed to do to be able to keep enjoying
this fine, fine radio. It seems to have very good sensitivity and
stability. I most definitely respect all you guys out there, don't get me
wrong. But this has been my experience with the receiver. Maybe my needs
are not too demanding. I consider myself lucky to have one. It even has
all motorola sub assy's.

Still Bill

You, too, can help take a byte outta crime
