[R-390] six position rf bandswitch

[Walter Wilson]

Norm,

 Take a look at this page, if you have not already seen it.  The
paragraphs and last photo near the bottom of the page describe and
show a picture of the gear clamp that needs to be adjusted to
synchronize the RF six-position band switch.

I have had the deck out three times and it's still not right. When tuning, sometimes you have to go below (electrical) the band and come back up. The manual is pretty vague, such as: "center the contacts on the switch".
