I cleaned the carbon as well as I could and applied some epoxy around the effected terminal. So far it Is holding but I must say it makes me nervous that it could fall out at a later time and cause a problem. This repair also took care of the over heating resister. Still no shadowmeter although I do get some slight movement of the vane when tuning in a strong signal but mostly it stays at its narrowest as though it was tuned to a strong signal. Attempted to realign the set last night hoping that may help the shadowmeter problem, this seemed to help the performance accross all bands with the exception of lower end of the broadcast band say below 800 kz. Everything seems to go dead below that point. Thanks for your help I will keep you posted. Gary
