Well, this was one of the reasons to visit NAB: Go find the Merlin booth and get a Merlin Tweaker (for those Intersync recessed adjustments i.e. discriminator). Better yet, make multiple passes at the Merlin booth for a years supply...Also would come in handy on the VR 2000A model audio circuit boards (the VR2000B had pots with knobs attached).<BR>
