I am curious if anyone is using a pre-WW2 version of the HT-4. What kind of crystal holder did it use? Was it identical to the one in the wartime BC-610? Donald: My HT4-B was made in 1938, and uses the same TU's (and crystals) that the BC-610 uses. While we are on off-beat questions

If it helps any, the crystal socket on a beastly 610 tuning unit perfectly fits a double banana plug. Mount a standard FT-243 holder on a double plug and voila, instant adapatron. Also, a recent issue of Electric Radio featured a simple cure for the FM hum that is common to the BC-610 VFO.

My question would be" Does the FT-243 have tha ability to take the current/power that the FT-171-B xtals are designed for? There MUST be a reason that they are designed the way that they are. Bob - N0DGN > I have just purchased a 610 and going to use it xtal control. I have xtals > for 75 me
