I have wondered what a "gimmick" was. I ran across the term in a book on radio repair, but it wasn't explained.
One last question. Was the gimmick trimmed and routed for each radio or was it just cut to a predetermined length and routed according to a print? The reason I ask is that I already replaced them both with new wire, cut to length and routed as in the 41-250.
In the 41-280, the wire was quite a bit shorter and just hanging into space, and I thought the other routing was neater. I no longer have that wire to measure the length. Is there a procedure to trim and route it so that it works properly?
By the way, I have two 46-350 portables, and each one has a short length of wire sticking up from the volume control and not connected to anything on one end. Is that the same thing?
Thanks.
