That depends on the age of the coils.
Speaking of the Cubic ST-3B tuner, the inductor knob on mine has been a bit wobbly since I bought it from a local ham in 2009. No big deal, made for a little ambiguity on the setting sometimes but it was easy to sort out and I just chalked it up wear-and-tear due to the age of the unit. Otherwise, the tuner works fine, but the panel markings around the inductor switch had worn out so the previous owner had stuck a label on with double-sided tape. It was ugly, crudely-made and beginning to peel off so, yesterday, I made up a much nicer one to replace it.* In the process, I removed the wobbly knob and discovered that the reason it was wobbly was that it wasn't installed on the shaft properly. I've had the thing for almost four years and I just figured that out yesterday. Sheesh.
I put my new label on, installed the knob correctly and all is well. I did have to remake my tuner chart because all the inductor values were now off by four letters.
* I used to do that sort of thing for a living, BTW, even did the artwork for some for Cubic's automatic fare collection equipment long after they got out of the ham radio business.
I'm almost afraid to ask which four letters. None the less, glad you got it going.Quote:

Also like the ones for ATVs and that sort of stuff. Since I was never into that sort thing, I wonder if there is some sort of transfer you can create and print off for the panel, and then clear kote the hell out of it?
Bringing this thread back to life, and I am kinda surprised I didn't post my shack pic here:

It was introduced in my area a couple of years ago. Their "light' beer is low calorie/lower alcohol, but has a full flavor that beats the other water flavored light beers.
I love their Black & Tan.
