+====== Repair Coils on HP Attenuators ======
+Just wanted to let you know I was able to repair and rewind the 4 damages bobbins.
+I first tried using the original #35 AWG magnet wire size, but due to the physical repair I had to do on the damaged plastic bobbins I was not able to wind the same number of turns as the original coil, so the resistance was too low (about 42 Ohms instead of the original 50 Ohms).
+The sink transistors in the 75468's are rated at 500mA maximum, so 42 Ohms at 24 VDC makes the current too high.  It may have worked, but I did not want to risk it.  I changed the wire size to #36 AWG and ended up with about 60 Ohms.
+After finishing the bobbin repair and rewind, the attenuator actuators work great and I now have a working generator.
+The rubber grommets that physically attach the plastic attenuator arm to the actuator are starting to dry out and will be a problem sometime in the future.  Any suggestions on replacements?
+Thank you again for all the information and your help with the project.
+Steve
