Mike;
These are actually 66-88 also but tuned to 72-76 and very
close spaced. They have 2 notch threaded rod stubs on each can. I was
amazed to see how close spaced they were on the freq's in them. I did
find some information on home plating but looks like the better part
of $500.00 for a kit to do it... and a bit of a learning curve..
Anyone here done any home silver plating either???? That insight
would be useful too! I am more interested in if it is necessary?
