Ditto. Can't wait to see it working. :-+
AF6LJ:
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.

It is a good way to build a switch, and the labor is minimal.
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.
