[Hallicrafters] Restringing SX71 question

[rodk0eqh at wbsnet.org]

John,

Lucky You indeed!

My SX-71, a black face, the Main and Band Spread tuning capacitors go from
full closed to full open when tuned.  -0- is full closed, and -100- is
full open on both of the logging scales.  Clockwise rotation of both knobs
causing capacitors to open.

Any help?

73 es Happy New Year
