[Hallicrafters] SX-62 tuning

[Richard Knoppow]

     Check to see that the extra force is from the tuning cap. If it is 
the most likely cause is something stuck between the plates or one or 
more plates bent enough to be rubbing. If that's happening the cap will 
short and the set will go dead where the plates touch.
