Thanks Morzh,

The article you mentioned, would that be the one that comes with the service manual documents? If so, I have that and will read it. If it is something else, please point me in the right direction and I'll have at it.

As for the missing parts, the contact and insulating sleeve are present in the groove in the shaft, and they are working as I think they should, no shorts. My issue is the outer contact and the fact that it rubs on the auto tune lever assembly. The fiber washer is over the contact and working as the outer auto tune assembly doesn't short there either. Just the tip of the outer contact is the issue. A picture of that would help, but that may not be possible.

The good news is that the after surgery power up was successful. All bands and controls work as the should. About a 1.8 amp draw on the AC mains. A big load off my shoulders after all of the hours spent replacing caps, resistors, bad wires, and re-stuffing cans.
