Re: Hammarlund SP-600 tags

Try James Moorer, he does not make labels but restores a
lot of SP-600s and may know of a source.
BTW, the tuning capacitors have a number stamped on the
side which may be the original serial number of the set. I
am not sure of this but think it is the case.

Yes Richard, I mean that label.
I was looking for someone who reproduce it.
Thank you for your suggestions.

If you mean by tag the label in the radio the only one I know
about is the label on top of the tuning capacitor cover. This has the
model number and serial number on it. There are no other labels on the
set other than a contract number plate on the front panel of some
military sets.
There may be someone making replacement labels, searching around

can you use this ?---free

Great Scott,
I will check on your recommendations. Tommy Ack retired several years ago
and suddenly became a SK. Another family member runs Ack now but he is not
a ham. I knew Ack W4ECI who actually started Ack in Birmingham in 1946. He
has been a SK for a long time.
Guess you knew Sandy W4RU (ex WA4ABY) became a SK recently. I hear from

Ack are really good folks, they were always a huge help to me when I was a
starving student at W4AQL. I'm glad to hear they are still around. The thing
about Cailube is that it is a contact cleaner... it reduces corrosion and
it's okay at high voltages.
With the lube spray, be careful with it because it may not be okay to get on

Great, I can probably get it from Ack Electronics in Atlanta. I have a
light lube spray that soaks in and does not gummy up like WD-40 does. Its
called pre-lube 6.

Calube is a contact cleaner with a small amount of lubricant in it. It is
made by Caig Labs. I buy it from a local electronics retailer, Cain
Electronics, but you can probably get it from MCM or Parts Express or
Digi-Key.
It's probably just oleic acid in with some petroleum... it leaves behind
a light film on contacts that is mildly reducing and keeps contacts clean,

Scott,
Where do you get cailube? Is it lithium based?

Have you tried Cailube?
You may want to try a light turbine oil on the sleeve the shaft passes
through, once you have cleaned the whole thing up with Cailube.

Henry 2K band switch problem

thomp...@mindspring.com (David Thompson) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:15:30 UT

I recently got a second Henry 2K RF Deck that is an improvement over my
older version as it has the separate 80 and 75 positions on the band switch.
The problem is my new band switch is very stiff and won't turn without great
effort. In the original Henry 2K series the band switch in the center of
