[SignalOne] Fw: #125 Reporting In

[Sitting Bulls Uncle]

Message
In 1970 I purchased Signal One CX7 #125.  It had mostly prototype boards in 
it with some piggyback mod smaller boards that were hand wired!  Over the 
following five years it graduated to become a CX7B with many years of 
interesting service [and I do mean service because it was serviced 
frequently for awhile].  Today all the prototype boards have been replaced 
and is about as current as any CX7B out there.  I use the box with a 
Alpha/ETO 91 amplifier and a simple wire antenna farm.

My callsign is K5SBU, handle RIK.  My QTH today is just a half block from 
Corpus Christi Bay and three blocks from Fred K5OG who sports a very fine 
Signal One collection.

#125 at this time has the LED counter board with the X-Y readout option.  I 
have a plan to make a modification so as to be able to switch in the 
additional divider chip and make that switchable from the front panel.  My 
idea is to replace the keyer speed control potentiometer [which is just to 
the right of the frequency readouts] with the same value pot but with a 
push - pull shaft SPDT or DPDT switch which would move the readout accuracy 
connection between the two pins when pulled or pushed.

So, if anyone has such a pot in their junk box I would be very appreciative 
to acquire it and make the mod.  The pot is a 25k linear taper, 
incidentally, of standard size that mounts in a 3/8" panel hole.  Anyone 
have such an animal?  :-)
