37-116 Restoration
#39

Two issues now. I think figured out the last problem

1) The band "mask" is getting "pinched" so that it wants to turn with the dial. I'm 99.9% sure it's all installed correctly. The "reflector" 1st, the mask 2nd, the "retaining ring" 3rd, the dial 4th and the "ring that holds the station tabs" 5th.

When I screw down the "ring that hold the station tabs" it compresses the lot and causes the mask to get pinched. If I release the screws a bit it works. Beats me what's going on or how to fix.

2) No reception on the 2nd SW band ~4.5-7.5 MHz. Ugh... I checked ALL of the coils when I started. I thought it worked earlier, but maybe not. The oscillator seems to be working. I set my portable SW radio to ~6 MHz and I hear the "pop" as I tune past 6MHz on the 37-116. Time to start working my way through it. That's for tomorrow...
