[TowerTalk] TH6DXX Refurb

[n4kg@juno.com]

I recommend that you disassemble every trap, tighten all 
the coil screws, tighten the trap cover screws, and replace
all the trap end covers.  They used to be avialable from HyGain.
I hope they are still available through MFJ.  Be sure to tape
the new end covers to prevent UV deterioration.

You may want to use emery cloth to clean the trap cover 
connections.  If you are really ambitious, clean every
tubing joint with either Scotchbrite pads or emery cloth
and use Penetrox or equivalent.  

Check with HyGain or MFJ to get the latest dimensions.

73 / GL,  Tom  N4KG
