Since it was such a snowy, cold, icy, miserable weather evening here in southeastern, Wisconsin, I had a bit of time after work to give Ron's dial back plate some attention. I think I had some success! Icon_thumbup

And I also managed to install the freshly rewound OSC coil, courtesy of Ron, into my 59C, and...

It's alive!!

I was able to tune in WBBM in Chicago, some 120 miles south of here.

So in spite of the weather, it was a good day!
