[TenTec] Looking for photograph/sketch of assembled Ten-Tec MR-1

Dave:

I bought a Ten Tec TG-38 aluminum box to package mine in. I plan to 
mount the  modules to the bottom of the box with threaded spacers.

The Ten Tec wiki says that the MR-1 was intended for bread board 
mounting, but  I'd rather put it in a box of some sort. Just use your 
imagination. Consider a large wood file card box, wood gift box, surplus 
ammo box Pelican case, sportsman's dry box, etc. If you do breadboard 
it, as in the days of old, you will still have to mount the boards on 
spacers and fabricate brackets to hold the variable capacitors and 
switches. You will also need a vernier dial drive because the VO1 tuning 
capacitor does not have a reduction gear, at least mine doesn't.

If you or anyone else has the dail, can you scan it and e-mail it to me. 
It would save me the trouble of making my own dial scale.

Thanks and 73,

             Bob WB2VUF
