I acquired a very worn but still working Century 21 I'm starting to rebuild.
I plan to rebuild the vernier drive, replace the momentary zero beat and
drive switches with SPST switches. Need to replace the "bezel" around the
power meter & otherwise tweak and adjust electronically / give it a good
dusting and cleaning up. I'm interested in any advice or ideas re:
improvements from others who have done this. Also, the vinyl covering on the
case shells is pretty bad. Anyone have experience replacing that? I could
always take it off and spray paint it Drake Grey or something. I'm not
interested in returning it to factory appearance. Just want it to look very
nice & be very functional. I plan to set it up in the shack as an emergency
CW traffic handling rig and run it on 12 volts DC instead of 120AC. Ideas /
advice / warnings appreciated... / Woody / WD9F
