it lives!!!! on all three bands no less.this thing needed almost as many parts as my halli. sx-62!!! but i noticed i got a lot of static and noise in the am band around 700kc and below and no reception i thought maybe the shaft wipers were still dirty but closer scrutiny revealed that some pinhead i guess didnt want stations below 700kc and bent the ends of the outboard rotor vanes in so that they would short against the stator. i say this as they were bent in on the b.c. tuning segment ONLY. i cant see this happening accidentally but concede its possible. i then noticed that there was wire insulation jammed in between the stator vanes and frame. why ive no idea. if its factory will someone let me know why?
