Of course not! Especially when I see that somebody from Nigeria and somebody
else from Bosnia is using my "supposed" account.
I guess they gave up on sending those "Greetings, I am Doctor Blah Blah
Blah" things that offer to let me launder their 5 million dollar
inheritance, if I will only give them my bank account number, routing
number, etc.
It looks like I lost out on that one. I better move much faster next time I
get one of those e-mails. What a good deal! The quick and easy way to file
bankruptcy. But wait................there's more!

I already checked that website.............it appears they only take
PayPal,
so that option is out. I get so many fraudelant e-mails from PayPal
informing me about suspicious activity on my account. I don't have a
PayPal
account, so I will let it rest there.
The only other source is A.G. Tannenbaum, but they don't seem to answer
their phones.
Any other sources? Also, I did see those screws for the front panel, but
I
need to remove the whole assembly so I can work on the synthesizer.
It seems that the LO output from the VFO droops at the high end of the
tuning range. When I tune up above "800" on the mechanical dial, the
synthesizer goes out of lock. This is on all bands, when they kind of
work.
I believe that this synthesizer is a dual-loop hybrid vernier
synthesizer. I
just need to find out where the sampling point for the VFO is.
I do have a long Phillips head screwdriver, so I will pull it apart
today.
Hopefully, the top of the unit separates from the bottom; that is all I
need
to pull off.
Thanks for the info!

1) You're on the wrong track taking the bottom screws out. Put them
back
in.
2) There are six screws holding the front panel on. You'll need a long
Philips screwdriver, 8" or more shaft, preferably with magnetic tip to
pull
the screws out. Without the service manual, you might be able to
figure
out
which ones they are (two are inside the battery compartment lid, but
the
others are harder to get to.)
3) Buy the service manual for $19.95 at www.manualzone.com/. If you
own
this radio, you should have one.

This is a very service-hostile radio. If you do go through the trouble
to
take the front panel off, use that time to replace all of the bulbs.

How do I dissamble this unit? I was able to remove the back panel, and
I
have removed the screws from the bottom of the unit.
What I need to do is clean the frequency range switches. The PLL has
some
unlock problems, and the only way I can get at them is to take the
unit
out
of the case. Also, does anybody on this group have any kind of service
info
that they can scan and e-mail to me? I would be glad to pay for the
effort.

LOL, you think Paypal is sending those emails?

Good!

I do tech support and there ARE people who think these things are legit
messages! We had a woman try to open and then send a complaint to a
virus laden message from.."Tech support" every time a new copy came even
after I TOLD HER it was a virus, and to delete it, on two previous
calls! The first and second viruses were detected by Norton or whatever
and she was ok, but the last one nailed her PC and totally trashed it.

She calls again, all shakey, and I ask her why she tried to open it,
after I had told her we would NEVER, EVER send an attachment without
talking to her first, ever, period. I told her that an attachment flat
out made the message bogus, period, twice before. Just delete it. Then
she says, and I still can't believe she said this, "Oh GOD, I thought
you just meant for that month it was a bogus message if it had an
attachment!" Huh?? "No ma'am, ever, period, always.."

This same woman replied to one of the bank messages asking for her
account info. Sigh..


What does she do for a living??

College Professor, I verified it!

No wonder so many of my friend's kids are so scary dumb..
