I would be very interested to see how the turns counter looks if you get
that done. Maybe you can post some pictures, or send some to me I can post
on my site?

I've a spare turns counter recovered from a Collins tuner. When I'm in
the
box for the cap change, I'll look at adding the turns counter.

Sounds like a great mod Ron. Another really cool mod I saw on a 238
was replacing the tuning dial with a turns counter. I haven't seen
that one documented though. One of these days I might get together
with the skillful local ham who did it and document it.

I few months back, I modified my TT 238 tuner by changing out the disc
ceramic caps with surplus Soviet military doorknob caps, which
dramatically improves the power handling capability on 160 and 80
meters.
Heating used to cause the SWR to 'drift', even at 100 Watts in some
situations on 160. The mod worked well, and if anyone is interested, I
have all the details and pictures on my website at www.n6ie.com.
