[Boatanchors] CV-591 SSB detector Question

[DW Holtman]

Hello,

I want to thank everyone for all of the help in this problem. It was a 
simple fix, fatigued solenoid return spring and lubricant on the moving 
parts. Hindsight is always 20-20. Thanks to Chuck, N7RHU and Jim Brannigan 
for taking the time to send me good information.the information.

Best,
DW Holtman
