Thank Guys. I found Kees great website. I'm sure this will be a year long
project. I want it to look as good as it works. What kind of dial and drive
do you guys think is the best. I like that 2 speed drive on Norm Deemer's
(WA5HPJ) HBR-16. I'll be back in a bit, I'm sure.

I want to build the HBR -16. that was in a early 60s QST. I think?
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Two resources are an absolute must:

K5BCQ's excellent HBR website (your favorite search engine will find it by
searching "HBR K5BCQ"

There is an email reflector devoted to the HBR - instructions at the
website,
IIRC

The Eddystone 898 is, without any question in my mind, the ultimate
tuning dial. It is also the most difficult to work with (it's output
shaft is elevated rather high) and the most expensive.

I've built three HBR's. It's a nice receiver.
