This lovely TCS-6 had just one part remaining to
get it back in good operating condition, but it
was a "ringer."
The RF Gain control is a 10K pot "with a
difference."
Like many pots it has a switch, but this one
activates at the full clockwise position, where it
activates the AVC for AM operation, rather than
the common ones which operate at full
counter-clockwise.  This thing must be unique to
TCS receivers and I had little hope of finding
one, but had to ask.

Well, Jacques Fortin, VE2JFE, is my hero!  He
found the parts and assembled a replacement pot,
which is now happily living in the TCS-6 receiver.

Thank you so much, Jacques!
Our people are the best.
