Don:
Very impressive! I have a Corsair II I bought new in 1987, my first
Ten Tec, but not my last. Whose optical encoder are you using? Is
it a kit? I am interested, but not totally sure I am technically
competent enough to do this, tho I have rebuilt one PTO, and cleaned
half a dozen, in the older Ten Tec radios. Appreciate any info you
may shed. Thanks,
73 Dub

Here is a short video, showing Corsair II with fingertip tuning
using optical encoder - no PTO. Also band switching from SSB to CW
and back, with no cranking the knob! I mounted the dial skirt and
original knob for retro look, but the feel is definately SOTA (state
of the art). This radio has an Inrad 2.8 filter, and sounds as good
as anything I have new or old.
