I used a hacksaw with a fine-toothed blade to carefully cut around the can
near the base and access the innards. When I put it back together, I used a
clear adhesive and even I can't tell that its been apart.

Hello,


 


I feel a bit like I did back in 1979 when I first got on the air. With the
kind and knowledgeable assistance of many of you guys, I have restored my
T-4XC.


 


In this project, I cleaned up the chassis, rebuilt a can capacitor,
verified the power supply, cleaned all the wafer switches, replaced a
couple components and tubes, and aligned and adjusted everything.


 


This evening I got it on the air, and had a blast making a few contacts,
though I did not hear anybody working the Classic Exchange contest. One
gentleman heard me discussing my need for a replacement meter shunt
resistor and said he would send me one in tomorrow's mail. Another
gentleman from our Drakelist is sending me a knob to replace the one that
snapped in half.


 


My thanks to all of you, and if I can't buy you a cup of coffee or a beer
in the future, that I will "pay it forward" to another ham.


 


73,


 


Eric KA8FAN
