Help on SB101 Shaft Coupler

[Stewart D Lyon]

Is this a great group or what? Yesterday I appealed for a source of shaft
coupler for my SB101 and the responce was wonderful. I got two offers of a
coupler from their junkbox for the price of my mailing address, one offer to
make one if I would send the dimensions and a great "Hint" of a source -
which I've taken the liberty of copying below.

My thanks to Grant-NQ5T (whose offer I gratefully accepted), Bob-KL7FM,
Nick-KD4CPL and Collin-N4TUA. All true hams.

Thanks again es 73, Stu, W6CUX
