Hi All

Slow progress (due to doing other things...) but there is movement!

Firstly I have stripped the whole Main Receiver down to its parts. See Pic. This is easy of course except for the nuts that had seized. The chassis needs cleaning, especially to rid it of 'that smell'. For this I am splashing out on a Soda Blaster, not so much the soda or the tool but the air compressor that is needed. I'm hoping that it will take off the paint too.

The workers that made this item must have had a really devious assembly plan as there are many solder joints that are hidden deep in the weeds and the only way that I can see to rebuild it is to put flying leads on every thing before fitting the item onto the chassis and putting the next part on top virtually entombing it!

I am reverting the design from 'C' back to A. Hopefully I'll be able to polish out the 'C' scraped onto the name plate. I am building it to A as that would have been the version on my aircraft of interest and because I have the documentation for A!

Cheers
James
