    One more thing. After you put the shield back on you 
will have to touch up the oscillator calibration. The 
trimmer caps are available through a goof plug on the side. 
The error is not large but enough to throw the calibration 
off.

    Also, before beginning the calibration procedure be sure 
to center the adjustable pointer to its center as indicated 
by the lines on the panel above and below it. Its best to 
lock it with a bit of sticky tape.
