Mr. Carlson (VE7ZWZ) is launching a series of videos on the restoration of
some old boatanchor receivers. I have been working on an old HQ-100, so
this all resonates well with me.
He asked for viewer input on which of these receivers he should work on
first. I voted for the SP-600 because I wanted to see how difficult it
really is to change out the infamous Black Beauty capacitors. My second
choice was the R-390, but I warned Mr. Carlson that he might need a chassis crane for that one. No kidding. Really.
I look forward to watching the series. Thanks in advance Mr. Carlson.
