Hello, Well I got the PTO all re greased. I ended up using Phil Wood waterproof grease, as recommended by some prior list postings. PTO is nice a smooth now. Now, still have a few positions on the Ba
Have you applied the contact cleaners yet? David Goncalves W1EUJ -- David Goncalves _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.c
Just check the speaker for impedance and diameter and any mechanically similar speaker should work. -Stuart Rohre K5KVH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@cont
Plug in headphones. Does it sound the same? -- David Goncalves _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/t
