What? Suddenly "mafiamen2" is now "sam"?!?!?!?
Well...OK!
Anyway...
Whatever happened, the Zenith is working now. It was either one of the questionable solder joints, or applying the DeoxIT to the switches, or tightening up the coil shields (and adding a missing nut). I don't know.
I did not do any more radio work this evening, but I did go to the basement a while ago and played the Zenith some more. Tuned in some SW...listened to AM 740 out of Toronto for a little while...but mostly listened to my SSTRAN on 660. No problems. No cutting out. Nothing but music and other programming.
I'll play it some more tomorrow, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is fixed.
Well...OK!
Anyway...
