[TenTec] TT 238 Dial Pointer

[Jim Roller]

I have a TenTec 238 tuner in need of help. Some time ago the dial 
pointer decided to break itself into several non-repairable pieces with 
some help (N4IR) which makes it difficult to operate to say the least. I 
have searched the web with no good results. Found one but had to buy the 
229 tuner it was in -an expensive piece of plastic. This was used in the 
229, 229A, 238 and 4229 circa 1990 or so. It is red plastic with a 
pulley and a post that connects to the dial string nightmare. Anyone 
with a junker of the above or someone who bought a bunch in the TemTec 
sell-off? I would be eternally grateful for any help finding one. I 
really don't want to get into installing a turns counter since my 
mechanical talents are poor, to say the least!

Please contact me off-list if you can help at n4ir at charter.net. TIA,

Jim, N4IR
