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
