The shaft of the 'volume' pot was too long, and it irritated me to see the
knob hanging way out there in space, so I took the hacksaw to it. Looks
much better now. Also, since the shaft was one of those split jobs, I
wedged a piece of plastic in the slot so the setscrewed knob sits straight.
Then I nervously connected the rig back up. It still works. Breathe in,
breathe out.
I decided against trying to do something fancy and computerized for the
dial calibration. (The kit comes with a blank piece of plastic for the
dial.) I settled for something usable. Hope Jim doesn't mind my
amateurish efforts at a dial.
The radio is now packed up in its box and ready to appear before the judge.
May he have mercy.
