Hi

any interest in this unit? powers up fine...the bfo and volume switches work fine as does the main tuning switch but the band and mode switches just kinda turn freely...when i first tried it out they both switched fine all the way to the right but then wouldnt go back...the bandspread dial seems iffy also...any info would be appreicated...

thanx!

you probably need to tighten the setscrew on the knob(s) that slip.

well, i did that and the knob started to split :(

Ouch! Little screws are more powerful than they appear!
 
I would put it on this site for sale or donation. Someone would like it!
