[Hallicrafters] HT-32 relay issue still no fix yet

[Robert Sauvan]

Well,
I have had 3 good sggestions and have tried all of them to see if it 
would solve my problem. The relay is working just fine. I also cleaned 
the heck out of it. I have replaced the 6AL5 tube and squirted plenty of 
contact cleaner in the socket along with pulling the tube in and out to 
eliminate any corrosion that my have been a culprit.
I am still having the problem. The relay clicks and goes back to its 
standby position but the radio receiver will still have a muffled signal 
occasionally until I switch the relay in and out a couple of times.
Could my "operation" switch on the HT-32 be causing a problem by chance? 
I think I will try cleaning those contacts more and see if that works.
If not, is it possible it might be something in the receiver? I am using 
a SX-101 Mk IIIA with the HT-32. They are hooked together being used 
with a dow key relay for antenna switching. That relay seems to be 
working fine as well.


Im going to keep plugging away at this thing.
