Easy guys--- eeeasy

I value ALL the input ive received so far.... The UPS and the DOWNS..

I admit feeling a bit over my head in this one and a bit apprehensive after watching the youtube videos posted, But i have to admit the end result, looked pretty cool.. Seen some things about the radio that i wasnt aware existed... The tuning eye (shadow meter) is pretty neat setup, And the 2 speed tuning is cool...

I now understand the BAKELITE CAPS that were discussed, i was expecting round paper caps with clear uf and volt values marked, this may be a challenge to me on part#s and schematic drawings, (some hard to read)..

Ive used the faucet washers to hold the tuning gang in place before

Hoping my scattered shop and tools are up to this task... Meanwhile, gonna go watch the series on youtube..

Thanks again for your inputs..

SR
