It's been a while since you saw this thread, huh? Too long for me also. Well, today I used my cane, and went into my radio room, sat down at my work bench and did some more on my HQ-129-X. I replaced the audio gain control, and then put back the cover for the BFO, the electrolytic can, and the headphone jack. I also mounted the 3 screw terminal strip for the antenna and ground connections. I haven't wired it yet though. The person who owned it last had converted the antenna to an SO-239, and used only 1 wire going to the connector, instead of the two as the original. I have rechecked the schematic and made a much clearer version which I can print an enlarged section from to hunt down things and make sure I connect everything correctly when I go back tomorrow or the next day. It felt good to be able to get back to work on it after about a month and a half away.
