One thing I have run into is the first short wave band is dead. (Sorry, but don't know the frequency coverage, off the top of my head.) I have been attributing this to a poor antenna in my shop. I am not even getting static on this band. I haven't been too concerned about it, due to the poor antenna, but I noticed last night that the RF chassis is microphonic on this band, at times. I do get signals on the 2nd SW band. No signals on the 3rd. but do get static. I have applied very small amounts of Deoxit to the band switch contacts with the needle applicator, but not much else. I have not checked the oscillator for operation on this dead band yet. I suspect it is not operating.

Any ideas as to where to look?

Thanks in advance.
