I haven't yet seen the glass dewar. The adhesion is huge. Do you know if the holes opposite the 2N3792 are threaded? If they are, I might try running the screws out and using those holes with longer screws as my pull points. I can't pull on the lugs hard enough -- I've tried. -christopher. 73 de AI6KG _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
