Here's something else to throw into the mix. I decided to try to clean the function switch as well as I can...all of the contacts are black. I don't think this is causing my FM problem because I can see tracks on the flat rotating contacts where the stationary contacts ride on them. But it can't hurt to try to clean them up a bit. Anyway, as I was cleaning the rear side of the front section I noticed this:
It's cracked at the top. And it's definitely broken...I can move it. I also don't think this is causing my FM problem but it certainly needs to be fixed. I cleaned the area as well as I could with some 91% alcohol. So, what's the recommended glue to use? I'm thinking super glue but want to get recommendations.
Thanks,
Rich
