[R-390] R390A Crystal Osc subchassis

If it works best leave it alone.  There is a bit of "play" in the switch.
If you turn the shaft clockwise, you will notice the contacts slightly off
center toward one edge.  If you turn the shaft CCW, the contacts will be
slightly offset toward the opposie edge.  If you try to center the contact,
this free play may cause misconnection as you change direction in the band
switch.  BTW be very careful in cleaning the contacts.  They bend very
easily.

I have removed the rf and if/xtal osc subchassis for recapping.
I notice that the xtal osc bandswitch contacts are slightly off center in
making contact.
My mechanical head says loosen the shaft coupler and center the contacts and
retighten?
Will this solution cause another problem I am not aware of?
Scaredy cat first timer,
Bob
