[Kenwood] R-1000 problem

[ae4r@erols.com]

Ahoy!  I need your advice regarding an R-1000 receiver that performs
beautifully most of the time, but intermittently loses its mind in the
following manner=2E  It jumps from the selected frequency to a fixed
frequency that is indicated on the digital readout, but independent of
analog dial setting=2E  The fixed frequency is different for the four rang=
es
of the MHz bandswitch, viz=2E=2E=2E

Band:            Readout freq:
0 to 7 MHz: ~ 10=2E0 MHz
8 to 15 MHz: ~ 18=2E0 MHz
16 to 22 MHz: ~ 25=2E9 MHz
23 to 29 MHz: ~ 33=2E0 MHz

Sometimes the dropouts are momentary, while at other times dropouts last
indefinitely=2E  The receiver always starts normally and dropouts seem to
happen after it has been on for 10 to 15 minutes=2E  Changing the bandswit=
ch
or any other control has absolutely no effect=2E  I have examined the circ=
uit
boards and checked wiring connectors, harvesting no clues=2E  Even so, I
suspect something really simple is causing this problem=2E  I would be
grateful for your suggestions to troubleshoot this lovely little radio=2E
