ah.4.4. SB-102-4: LMO Instability
March 30, 1973
SB-102 Bulletin No:SSB Transceiver SB-102-4
We have a possible cure for some of the LMO instability problems in the SB-102. The
following should help eliminate any stress on the LMO chassis when installed on the
main chassis.
Remove and discard the lock washers & nuts used to mount the LMO to the chassis.
Use instead a #6 flat washer [PN 253-25] & hex lock nut [PN 252-27] at each lug,
tightening each lug A TURN AT A TIME in a criss-cross pattern.
We recommend this be done on all SB-102 units in for service even if customer has no
complaints about LMO.
