Jack, you are going to be in the position of the guy with two wris****ches.
He's never sure exactly what time it is. "Jack Allison" wrote in message . .. Although technically an avionics shop needs to do the adjustment most owners puchase the spline screwdriver and do the adjustment themselves. You simply remove the OBS knob (via set screw) and there adjustment screw is behind it. Usually I do it as MHR or SAC where you have a VOT. Yes, and that setscrew is a SPLINE, and a little tiny bugger at that. It takes the smallest spline in my toolbox to get it off. The screwdriver needs to be a small long shaft as well...I've got an old footlong eighth-inch fiberglass "TV Tuner adjuster" that works for me. Hmmm, interesting...not something that gets logged I'd bet :-) Log? You keep a LOG????? {;-) Jim |
