[TenTec] Eagle Information

ALSO...it is a good idea...as you drill to use a vacuum cleaner!
You really don't want all those metal filings running around in there!

CAREFULL !!!   Long ago while drilling two holes in the back of my OM6 
to
insert a preselector, the bit went through a few windings of a 2,5 mh 
choke.
This was just a few days before departing for 4U1VIC for a contest.  Of
course Ten-Tec got a spare choke to me in 4 days... and I was in Munich,
Germany.  CQ Kenwood: (try 4 months).

Lesson learned.  I now use a small C-clamp and clamp a thin piece of 
plywood
to the inside of the chassis before drilling through.

What's wrong with a ham drilling the back panel himself?
