i am going to start with the gimmick BFO type for side band if anyone has suggestions.
i know i will need another tuning cap which i have several.
from there i will need a knob on the tuning cap which i have.
i can string up and make a 0-100 scale which will be visible in the lower part of the main tuning window just below the words printed "tropic master".
how do i wire in such a thing?
do i attempt to copy cat the gimmick from my hallicrafters S38-d which actually works really great!.
any ideas or anyone experienced in doing this?
