Default Anyone got a DX-100 kit to make a DX-100B?

Hi All;
A friend of mine has a DX-100 that is working but the loading control
switch has a few hot-switched contacts.
He wud like to make it a DX-100B, I think they made a kit to do that.


The kit actually converted the DX-100 to a "DX-100A". (There were no
DX-100As from the factory). The modification kit did indeed exist; I
have seen it referred to as the "Mk.3" kit, though its real name is
probably something else.

There's enough room inside a DX-100 that a homebrew mod could probably
be done by replacing the existing coarse loading switch with a dual or
triple 365 uuf variable. Probably need gear or pulley drive for it.
