[Hammarlund] SP-600JX14 problem FOUND - capacitor shaft BENT

[Richard Knoppow]

    Congratulations on finding the problem. The Golden Screwdriver 
fellow is likely the culprit.
    There are lots of junker receivers around so you might be able to 
find an assembly. I suspect a fall would have produced more problems. 
So, either look for more or someone really ham-fisted worked on it. The 
Hammarlund list is probably as good a place as any to find bits and pieces.
