Hi Folks-
In the past I posted here a query asking if anybody had successfully
retrofitted a model 238 tuner with a turns counter on the roller inductor.
Having received no replies, I decided to undertake the project and I am
happy to report that it is in fact (IMO) a gigantic improvement over the
stock Tentec dial cord setup (which had presented me with nothing but
problems ever since I acquired the tuner).
The project was accomplished using simple tools and I feel that a person
possessing average skills could complete it with no problem.
I bought the turns counter for $50 off of one of the ham radio classified
ad sites.
I just did a search and found what looks like to be the exact same part for
$69 from one of the popular vendors.
I would be happy to provide a picture of the completed unit and a link to
the turns counter to anybody who is interested.
In hindsight, the only thing I might have done differently would be to
purchase a higher quality turns counter, if one could be located.
