In the FT-243, the quartz plate is not silver- plated and soldered to the connector pins; in the FT-241, it is. Both FT-241 and FT-243 crystals will fit in an octal socket. I remember taking the FT243 apart and washing the quartz in soap and water when the activity got low.... Also, rubbing it with pencil lead in order to change the frequency a little... ..... Ahhhhh........ good times..... Yes, or shaving it down with Ajax cleanser and toothpaste in order to change the frequency up a little. No, wait, that was last night I was doing that.... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
