Telebar Power up

Radio did have power, but I could not turn it off once it was on. Hmmmmm???

Hi Al,

I just happen to have this Admiral tuner handy. I think it's a 1954 date code. Not sure if the screws are compatible? It's yours if you can use anything. Oh, and your switch contact may be stuck in the on position. Maybe a squirt of contact lube will free things up?

THANKS! PM sent.

I hit all the pots with deoxit last week. So can the on/off knob on either the TV or the Radio be stuck on, even if you hear and feel the "click" when turning it off???

Yep. I've had it happen where the actuating mechanism clicks, but the switch contact would not pull in(or out)
