Well, my first attempt to remove the roll pin was not a success...The pin
didn't budge and the roll pin punch bent. I'll try the freeze/torch process
and I hope that works. The punch I used was 1/16" which appeared to center
and fit properly, but it was/is a fairly cheap tool. I may look for a
tougher type of punch.
My problem did not appear to be grounding of the AGC line, only slight
scratching as I turned the Ant Trim control, so using my Sprague TO-6, I
tried to see if I could provoke "leakage" using the insulation resistance
test of the TO-6, but to no avail...
That's all for now...
