[TenTec] Century 22

[Josh Gibbs]

Thanks Bob! Now I understand what the crystal calibrator is all about =)

The rig is really fun to use. Here was a quick SOTA chase that I made
earlier with the C22:

You can see I found a nice replacement knob for the one that was destroyed
in shipping. Vetco Electronics in Redmond, WA is such a fun place... they
had the speaker I needed and a nice selection of knobs. Finding some
elastic cord for the tuning dial re-string was a stroke of luck -
apparently that stuff is out of stock everywhere because people are using
it to make masks!

It's been a fun project. I really appreciate the advice and files that have
been shared with me on this list.
