Blake, thanks for the help!  If you could either
1, give me the link for that manual,
2, forward a copy of the manual to me, off list,
3, if you remember the 9-10KHZ set up procedure, let me know what it
is either by email skype or phone,
I'd deeply appreciate it!
Very good on nearly rebuilding your YB.
Other than the broken whip antenna, this one seems to be in pretty good shape!
It came with the softcase and a reel antenna/not sure if this
particular reel ant has the exact grundig plug on it, as it will
improve performance, but not_ cut out the whip antenna, which, I think
the earlier ones which I had would do!  Wonder what other portable SW
rxes you have or have had!  I'm especially looking for a Sony
ICF-sw100-S, /although I'll not pay ebay prices!! and or a sony 7600GR
if possible!
Shoot me an email off list,
(>ddyer one at gmail dot calm>)
and we'll go from there! Thanks much! Danny.
