[Boatanchors] [MMRCG] Crummy Grounds

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Bry,

When I discovered that Johnson Rangers were sold as kits with screws, 
nuts, and washers or factory-assembled with rivets I was relieved when I 
looked in mine and found the screws, nuts, and washers. Tweaking those 
cured an awful lot of ills:)

73,

Bill  KU8H

Apply a small amount of De-Oxit to the rivet on the underside of the chassis, then using a flat screwdriver and hammer, give it a few taps.    You won't see any movement but the impact will allow the De-Oxit to wick into the tiny gaps and do it's magic.    A good approach for any riveted or otherwise inaccessible connections.
