40-185 Tuning Oddities
#3

Thanks for the help...it worked! I read (in another thread) about dirty contacts causing issues as well so pushing the rightmost butto and wiggling it a bit allowed the other stations to come in loud and clear...I have to admit i was surprised. I appears that someone recapped the unit at some point and now it works quite well, at leat on AM. The other 2 bands are unknown since they are typically quiet during the day, but I didn't hear much static either.
I guess one task at a time is best.....

Thanks again,

Jim

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
