I like that idea- after all, B40, RA17 and R390A all got external SSB demodulaters and the RA17 famously also various other 19" gizmos including LF converters and HF preselecters. I've got a smart steel box here earmarked as muti-function meter, DFM etc "podule", possibly even clock and shielded-off AMU, for the 750 here involving the IO accessory socket on the rear panel. I could never quite help wincing at those once very expensive and rather nice ex-professional sets that had had the front panel gouged up to fit a sixpenny Far Eastern plastic "S-meter"! Much more couth to have an externally-boxed add-on that saves too much internal alteration to what is now becoming classic stuff.
