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.
Anyone have one collecting dust?
Thanks es 73....Rich WA2RQY/4 (1961)

I have seen one, but like most kits they are extremely rare - maybe
better to look for a junker DX-100B or Apache - IIRC the main item in
the kit was the dual 365mmF loading cap

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.
