We are getting there.... Found another fingerstock on the bench today... I hope it didn't fall out of the switch rotors I have replaced. The two I am installing in the IF gain and input atten... are tacked in place with a little CA glue to give them some extra holding power. I have radio club paperwork to take care for the first three days of this week so it will possibly be Thursday when I get back on this. |

No lugs to attach wires to, no switches to mount in to a PCB where alignment between the panel and the switch could be a bit too critical.... And the hot stakes lend the rotor assembly to automation. Watched your Apache video today... I might have tried a piece of braid and secured it with those screws and flat washers. What you did was good. :-+ :-+ |
| Radio Tech:
Cool deal :-+ Hmm, I did not think of braid. You could also solder the two ends together. Just may be something to play with. I am pretty excited about this old rig. |
