[Heathkit] VF-1 jump: advice from group...many thanks...

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

Hmmm...good advice from Mike and Mike. :-) 

Thanks, you guys.

Looseness or corrosion between ground lugs, rear-phone jack shorting 
switch,  and/or tuning cap bearings. Will get the can of DeOxit out.

Last night, I discovered some white corrosion between the pieces of the 
coil shield compartment and the main chassis which MAY be part of the 
problem.

I'll let you all know how it works out.

BTW, if you've a mind to use your VF-1 with grid-block keyed rigs, you 
might take a look at the following URL:

and click on VFO CIRCUITS.

Easy no-holes, reversible mods.
