[Hallicrafters] SX-101 issue

[Robert Sauvan]

Well,
Seems everyone so far is pointing in the same direction. In answer to 
Marks comment (K3MSB) yes the frequency changes when I move the band 
switch back and forth. Does this indicate it needing a good cleaning or 
something else? Jim (W5JO) brings up a disturbing bit of info. Im hoping 
now that it isnt the temperature compensating cap since that looks to be 
a very difficult to find if not an impossible fix. Im going to put that 
one on the back burner for now and concentrate on cleaning the band 
switch as both Mark (K3MSB) and Jeff (WB3JIH) both commented on. Hoping 
I dont have to go as far as Jeff did and have to tear it all apart. Any 
other comments are welcome and I will start a good cleaning of the band 
switch for now and let you know what happens.

Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
