[Swan] Need help

I have a "new" Swan 260 that I am trying to resurrect.  The following 
are the problems I need help with.

1) The power connector on the back panel is broken, need a "new" one.

2) The receiver is intermittent.  Works fine for a while then seems to 
jump band or maybe just loose sensitivity, but it suddenly is receiving 
interference from the Navy base and broadcast stations.  The BC 
interference makes me think it changes frequency.  OR maybe it looses 
oscillation somewhere so the IF isn't right.

3) There is at least one modification to the circuit and there may be 
more.  The obvious one is a black wire from the TX/Rc/Tune switch on the 
left all the way over to the other side to a 31 ohm resistor to pin 7 of 
the final.  I would like to get a list of and schematics for any mods 
that were done on the 260.

Thanks for any help,  Jim W5JAI
