[Collins] R-388/51J3 band switch proplem

[Don Worsham]

I have an R-388 bought off of Ebay which has a problem.

I need to cycle the band switch to get the band to to operate correctly. Seems to be 
across all bands. The selected band works but with low sensativity. Most noticable in 
bands above 16 megs.

All of the various waffer switches have been cleaned ( several times) but the problem 
seems to be mechanical as an intertmitant in the circuit wiring.

Anyone have any experince with this?
