[Boatanchors] National NC-101X coil assembly

> Mine was scratchy too.  I think they all do that by design when “hot switching” all those amplifier stages  like that.    When I replaced the HV caps I did clean off the contact dits and wipers and left some DeOxit on them to at least eliminate that variable.  I didn’t burnish them, just rubbed some Deoxit soaked paper on them and it worked fine.  It didn’t doing anything for the "scratchy".  You sure don’t want to change  bands with the headphones on as it really tears the ear drums  :)  73, Scott WA9WFA

I assume I should clean the coil contacts associated with the coil assembly.  Before taking things apart I just wanted to check with you experts and see if there are any troublesome spots I should know about.  Is there anything that is particularly easy to mess up?
