[drakelist] R4C RF Gain Tab Removal

[w1xt]

Folks,   I need to remove an R4C front panel to get to the main tuning mechanism for repairs. Haven't had to do that before.   Question:  The tab for the RF gain seems to be soldered to the outer shaft on the potentiometer. The knob comes off but the RF control tab does not.  Do I really have to unsolder the tab to get it off or am I missing something?   Wonder if some previous owner had it come lose and decided solder was the way to keep it on!   Comments most welcome.   Thanks,   --Bob  W1XT   Surprise, AZ   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
