Be very careful of temperature of a stove, especially an electric. Things get way too hot in way too short a period of time! Don't ask how I know. Bob K9JU Maryville, TN

Rick, You might try setting it upside down on an electric hot plate or stove burner.

Re: 2-C Receiver
Attached is a picture of my knob and switch. It is not as rusty as the other picture. The shaft does have a flat spot on it and there is a bushing inside the knob. Unfortunately the set screw hole

Cleaning crystals.
I was enjoying some casual time with putting my Collins receiver back together and decided to try getting the crystals better looking than the greenish-brown that they were. I¡¯ve seen Drake crystals

Put the leads in a Panavise with heat-resistant jaws and the can should come off with a little heat and a grab with needle-nose pliers. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies

Re: Drake 2C on 28.0 to 28.5 MHz
Rick, if you use your big 140 Watt Weller soldering gun and take your time, you can un-solder the can from an HC-6 crystal and slide it off.? Swap out the crystal inside, then solder the can back on.

Re: Drake 2C on 28.0 to 28.5 MHz
David KE6YX What I was thinking was to cut the top of a HC-6 off and solder a 24.5 Mhz HC-49 to its pins. Don't know if that is doable tho' TU 73, Rick - N8XI

Re: Drake 2C on 28.0 to 28.5 MHz
I used an hc-29 16-mhz xtal and a home made holder. 16 x 2 = 32 minus 4 gives you 28 mhz. Works well. Cheap too. Here is a link to how I did it in a previous post,.

Looking for a Drake R8B in excellent or better condition and no smoke exposure. The VHF module is highly desired, but not a deal breaker if the radio doesn¡¯t have it. I am good on QRZ. Thank, Lynn
