SX100

 

After much patience, the SX100 is working nicely. Very pleased with the results. Pays to not rush. Thank you all for the pointers. Still working on final tweaks, but it¡¯s playing now where before, it was nothing.

Keith,

?

How much main tuning and bandspread tuning dial backlash do you notice?? I need to dig into my SX-100 and replace several bad caps.? Then to try and disengage the anti-backlash gears which had seized together long ago. Anyone have any luck with that?? If possible, I would really like to avoid restringing the steel ¡°piano string.¡±

?

Paul, W9AC ???

Excellent - now let's hear WWV on 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20?? :o)? My SX-100 still struggles a bit with this task.

I do know I need a better antenna for sure.

indispensable, is BASS FIDDLE ROSIN. I treat those pesky dial cords with
it, and they NEVER slip thereafter.? Violin and Cello are too hard a
compound... use the BASS stuff.

There is a tiny bit of backlash but not bad at all. The piano string on this one is in really good shape. I am thankful it did not need replacing. I do need to align the dials properly. They were off a small amount when I began this project. Good thing thats an easy task now that I have longer spline tools. Now to finish painting the cabinet and reassemble.?
