Hi All!

After a bit of work, I finally finished the re-build of the RF Deck this 
weekend, and I've attached a Flickr link to some photos.
In retrospect, it really was not that bad at all. While I have no parts left 
over  :), I did discover I am short one slug-rack spring. Arrgghh.

The synchronization of the cam alignment, MHz detent, bandswitch, and 
crystal osc. is perfectly spot-on, with exactly 35kc over-run on each end of 
the dial. The tuning is now incredibly smooth.
Every Erie trimmer was disassembled and cleaned, and in some cases, replaced 
due to cracked ceramic disks. This was the most time consuming effort.

With most everything cleaned up, I will begin the electrical makeover  with 
a massive re-cap session over the next few days as time permits.

I'll post more soon..
