I have one of these but I have not seen this problem. Mine is not stock--it has a tube change and some modifications around the changed tube (from QST if I remember right--I have the mod article). It is quite stable after warm up and completely useable for AM. You don't hear much about the Eico but I like mine.

This little rig is very very stable for its age. Hell Im impressed!! Looks good on the scope too. No A/C ripple in the p/s though it has original caps. I'm going to change them out just cuz.. the only problem is has is that the dial adjust knob on the front will not turn the dial. The dial is edge driven by a spring loaded brass shaft that has a groove in it that I presume the edge of the dial sits in. Trouble is, it doesn't. I don't know if its possible that the dial has shrunk? But..its about 1/32 away from touching the shaft. I can manually turn the dial, and the dial string will move the variable cap and move the frequency of the unit. Does anyone have experience with this rig? and this problem? thanks in advance W5SUM - Ronnie ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net The information contained in this e-mail may be confidential and is intended solely for the use of the named addressee.
