Ron, thanks for the tips and reassurance; this is a great site. I cleaned the pushbutton switch assembly as you said but it was very dirty indeed, so I'll go back and be certain I was thorough. Tracking was an issue on my 41-250 as well - tracking high as you describe for the one you have on the bench. But then the IF alignment was so far off it's difficult to assign causes for each performance issue I see. I now note on my 41-250 the shortwave antenna trimmer on the back apron has precisely zero affect on the shortwave band - yet another mystery I need to solve. This old unit had many simultaneous problems but I'm slowly working through it. I love basket cases and this one has provided many, many hours of entertainment. That's what it's all about anyway, isn't it?
