Intros

That is neat. With all that what the hell are you talking about repackaging some heathkit for? If you are all that board get a signal one cx-7. I wonder if that tuner was an scg, no meters on/off and some leds main led came on when it was tuned. I saw the pics of your op position neat stuff, I see you like Drake7 series. that was my first serious set up- TR7/R7 etc.

1) Because I can, and because the outcome justifies the effort. ;)
2) A friend of mine (ex Drake engineer) used to make lots of money repeatedly servicing the early Signal One stuff. Pass;
3) The tuner I have is definitely not an SGC unit. Two completely different design approaches.

I meant the tuner in my old AstroD. I will say the signal ones are the only radios I have that can be working fine until you turn it off, then you wonder if it will work when you turn it back on.
