Hi,
I fixed the power switch in my 30L-1!
It had become "welded" in the "ON" position.

Took it apart, polished the contacts smooth again, ready to go.

But I subsequently caused one problem that I can not find the solution for in the manuals or schematics.

I had to take out the band switch & associated linkage to get to the power switch.

I managed to get the front band wafer switch out of sync with the matching wafer switch in the back of the chassis.
The front and rear switches connect via a fiberglass shaft and coupler.

There must be a procedure for re-synchronizing these, but I just can't locate it, can anyone please provide some guidance?
