DX-40

[Jim Berry]

A DX-40 is one great rig.  I found one once at a garage sale
that had been completely assembled using a silver glue that
looked like solder.  The original owner had done a good job
of wrapping all the leads around the solder terminals enough
times to make good contacts.

I removed all the parts, put it back together, using real
solder.  I still have it.  It looks great.  Sounds great.

I have never used it on phone though.  The ones used on phone,
sounded OK.  It has been many years since I have heard one
though.  In fact, if I recall, you could not tell them from a
fancy plate modulated rig other then the bouncing S meter on
the receive end.

Neat find, fun project.
