Thanks Ed. I appreciate the encouragement.
Talked to Ten-Tec and the parts I need are available (dial cord assy,
accessory plug, AF Gain/ON-OFF switch and small PCB screws). All that I
need is a matching panel paint. I'll inform the list of any success.

Hi Gary,
This sounds like a *real* project radio. But all the 509 owners on the list
will be interested in your progress, so check in whenever you have an
update.
