[TenTec] 263 Remote VFO PTO

[J. W. (Dub) Thornton]

Haney:

Get a GOOD QUALITY (not Harbor Freight, etc.) Allen, or Hex wrench of 
either Metric 1.3mm, or American .050"
size for the screw holding the main tuning knob on most of the older Ten 
Tec rigs.  A poor quality wrench is likely
to turn inside the screw head, rounding the corners of the wrench and 
possibly even the screw.  My first PTO rebuild
was on a Corsair II, and I did that one without pulling the front panel, 
but certainly would never recommend this
approach.  I have done several since then, and its much easier/simpler for 
me, to pull the front panel.

Luck with it.
