My thanks to all those list members who replied to my earlier post. As recommended, I took off the top cover and extracted the fuse. It proved to be okay ... but the holder may have been tarnished. I carefully reinserted the fuse and lo.! it worked!! Fantastic!!
Now, I have two follow-up questions: 1. The little bolts/screws that are use to attach the case to the chassis (8 in all) ... what size are they?? I am presuming some kind of SAE thread(?). Any information out there?? 2. My VFO has an attack of the minor 'wobblies' ... and the counter seems to wander up frequency by 100 or 200 Hz as the rig warms up. I am leaving it on today for a couple of hours ... to see whether it settles down. What are list members' opinions about the various 'improvements' ... eg. 'huff & puff' vs DDS vs refurbishment of the original. My goals are to minimally change this fine old rig ... but I do want it stable enough for casual SSB operating. 73 to all and once again ... big THANKYOU.
