Hi folks - chimeing in as I heard my name
The picture shows a hole pattern exactly the same as I tried to reproduce. This I did from a picture on the net, scaling to get hole size and spacing.
I estimated holes are 1-3/8, spaced at 2". Top row is 10 holes, next down is 8. The whole pattern, top to bottom goes:
10, 8, 10, 8, 10, then again 10, 8, 10, 8 10.
Hope that is helpful,
Ed

Feel better, hopefully it's worth all the suffering through it.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

> I'm thinking the radio may have more Bass if I don't drill the holes in the back cover, what do you thing Ron?
It will have plenty of bass with the proper back. It's up to you if you want to install a plain back with no holes, though.
> radio daze has this dial its for a miodel 18lzx I'm wondering it sure looks like what I need , will this work is what I want to know.
Will it work? Yes. Will it be authentic? No, simply because the 18RX has a different coverage on its band 2 than does the 14LZX (1.5 to 4.2 mc in the 18 versus 1.4 to 3.3 mc in the 14LZX).

Hey Fred, I would just give the guys at Radio Daze a call, they will make anything you want and for the same price you would pay for the one above. I have had them done with no problems.

Two Y-caps make sense if you use them from L/N to the chassis; this is only makes sense in the transformer radios...morzh — 10:11 AM |
