I also had good results using a white lacquer stick on a National receiver
as well as the panel and knobs of a 1924 Freed-Eismann receiver. The red
lacquer stick is a perfect match for the line on Hallicrafter knobs such as
the SX-99.

Steve,
I was just going through the old emails and found this. Do you still need a
better schematic of the BC-1T? I have the one with the 807s at my AM
transmitter site. I might have a clean copy of the circuit.

Is $100 a good going rate for a DX100 these days? I have a friend with one to
sell me with little wrong with it, I'd rather enjoy fixing it anyway. My
present AM/CW rig is a first rate DX-40 but I would like a little more power,
high level modulation rig.

Briefly, the Receive/Standby (spst) switch is used to ground the cathode
of the 6AQ5 audio output. (Closed in receive mode) The switch is connected
directly to pin 6 of the accessory socket for remote operation.
