A very fine rig. I had one, and sold it cheaply because I thought the VFO
tuning capacitor (gearing to the dial digits) was shorted, since the receiver
went dead at various points on the dial.

Turns out that it just needed some Deox-It sprayed on the rotor wipers (I did
this after negotiating with the buyer and setitng a price -- then I fixed the
rig!).

I just wanted you to know that if you have such a problme, it's easy to fix.
You ahve to unscrew something over the tuning cap to get at it, but it's not
hard.

Enjoy the rig -- Mike K.. AA1UK
