We have used old CDs as dials for many years. I have one on my Q-31 Quarantine SW receiver. But never have we seen one with SolderSmoke emblazoned on it. FB OM. <\/b><\/div>\n

Stephen VK2BLQ should make sure that those 6U8s haven’t gone old on him. I recently replaced the 6U8s in my Mate for the Mighty Midget with 6EA8s. This seemed to rejuvenate the receiver. <\/b><\/div>\n
