You're welcome to try and build this turkey. It's a turkey because
several critical components are no-longer available. I was going to
build 2 units. Whenever I get desperate enough this winter, I'll finish
one of them. I had a whole list of substitutes on this project. The
shaft encoder is one. Get in touch with the author of the article for a
more complete list of substitutions.

Subject: [drakelist] I want to build the R-4C 'Crystal Eliminator'
Update Please!
 
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
