[Hallicrafters] SX101A Problem

[Peter May]

Hi Franklin,
Perhaps the ferrite slug has broken and slidden down to the bottom of the
coil former.
This is what happened to my SX-101.
Try turning the set upside down (this will cause the slug to slide back) and
see if there is a change in performance, if so, it' most likely a broken
ferrite slug.
If you are careful, you can either replace the slug with one of the same or
"super glue" it back together

Regards
Peter
