Mike,
Thanks for the information. I knew about the speaker. That has been a
"feature" in TenTec xcvrs going back at least to the Argosy, if not the
Tritons. I hadn't thought to wash the knobs but that is a great suggestion.
I am reluctant to try to bend the trim ring. I have a nice clean one so
why not do it right. It won't take that much longer and I will feel
better about it. Two weekends ago, I was cleaning up junk around my
Vertical in preparation for raising it up a little higher. Of course,
with my usual luck and skill, I dropped a tree on it. On to the leaves
and the lawn and, I hope, good weather tomorrow to do antenna work.
TNX again and 73,
John Graves
