[Hallicrafters] RBK-16 (SX-36A) Now Up And Running !

[Michael Melland, W9WIS]

The "new to me" USN RBK-16 (SX-36A) I had posted information about earlier
is now up and running quite well !  I worked for hours cleaning, checking
and tweaking.... but couldn't get any signal output.  I thought it was the
956 anti-radiation rf amplifier at the antenna input....

Yesterday, I had an hour or so to spare and discovered that the trouble was
the bandswitch.... a bit of DeoxIT and we are off and running.  That stuff
works wonders.... and cleaned up those tarnished contacts on the ceramic
wafers like new.  I still need to do a tune up but it's working on all
bands.
