Paul,
Thanks for confirming.
I dug into the archives, reading subject lines. And honed in on this one:
mailman.qth.net/pipermail/r-1051/2006-June/000571.html
"The problem is you have a stalled motor in the Mhz synthesizer module
of the six pack. There are two motorized things in the radio...one the
turret in the RF deck...easy enough to check...you can watch it go round
and round. The other is not so easy...it's a motor driven crystal
oscillator switch. If the motor stops you will only get one band to
function. "
In my case, 9MHZ and above is also dead. So I pulled the module out and
am now puzzling how to extract the motor. Looks to be tricky.
Hopefully not dissembled in vain :)
