It is quite a process to accomplish this "piece meal"  You need a new 
bandswitch, wafer, and input wafer as well as a 10 meter input coil.  Its a lot of 
work to do the conversion.  The easy way out is to obtain the complete 
bandswitch NETWORK from a SB-200 including the input bandswitch wafer and the 10 meter 
coil.  I sell the complete network (all that you need) for $75.00 plus 
shipping.  Its mostly a mechanical job with some slight soldering compared to trying 
to change out the individual parts (if you can find them).  Contact me off 
list if you would like to purchase a complete drop in unit.  Thanks 73 Louie
