Hi all Drake folks,

A while back there was a lot of issues / discussions about the article and 
building of the Drake Crystal lininator by Steven Hageman.

I wan to either buy one of these or build one myself...

Two things:
1) I talked with the FAR Circuits guy today at the Ft. Wayne, IN hamfest.
I asked him about the poor quality boards some have spoken about, he said 
'YES' the first ones were poor, and he has redone the boards so they are good now 
(No, they still don't have through holes plated) HE SAID ANYONE THAT HAS THE 
OLD BOARD, PLEASE LET HIM KNOW AND HE WILL REPLACE IT FREE!

2) I beleive there was one component in the parts list that was no longer 
available (The encoder?)  Has anyone found a direct replacement or 'What do we 
do?'
He said if he knew the details of the encoder operation (I told him I thought 
that was the no longer available part) he may be able to find a way to do it 
with other parts.

He has 'kits' available this week end for $46.

PLease update me on the status of this 'poject'

73,
Lee, KC9CDT
