I have a new question. 

When I touch the automatic tuning handle slightly the radio mutes as it should but when I let go it stays mute unless I toggle it a few times. I believe the order in which I put it together is proper.  This hasn't been a problem on my other automatic tuning sets so I believe it is not working right.

Does anyone have an idea what may be wrong? I am referring to the bulletin and it really doesn't have an order listed in the diagrams. 

I have her playing great except for this minor issue. 

Happy Thanksgiving,
Steve
