YOU MUST BE AN AIRPLANE MECHANIC. Title: Manual Post by: WA1HZK on March 25, 2005, 05:49:15 PM I got so into reading the manual for that old iron I just printed it all out & dropped it in the mail to you. Get a nice 1" 3 ring binder to put it in and you will have the whole thing for the next time you blow it up.. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
