Radio Guy, nice job! Bob, sorry this was directed a little from your original post, but nice to have someone doing something along the same lines. Still watching how your doing. Another week on a different project and on to my 111 and it's big cap can. Nice to see Radio Guy dive in and lack fear!

PS: Radio Guy, time to start a new thread on any other problems you have with your unit. Just go to the electronic restoration forum and hit new topic. Many will be able to help you with your eye tube issues and any others you have. JH
