[Hallicrafters] RELAY CLEANING QUESTION TO ALL - RESULTS!

[manualman at juno.com]

The NCX-5 is a nice transceiver. I've had mine up and running for the
last several years. Also was lucky enough to find the external VFO and
the optional walnut cabinets still in their original boxes, for the
NCX-5, VFO, and power supply. Look nice at my main operating location. I
guess I've been fortunate in that I haven't had any problems with the
relay.
See you on the radio
