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

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>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
