Re: 8566B - notches in response
Congrats on the fix. I'd suspect it was a gold problem as Chuck suggested, or silver plating on variable capacitor leads. Ag plating causes quite a mess like on old TI-brand TTL ICs, which is another

Re: 8566B - notches in response
Cracked solder joints are pretty popular in equipment

gold plating as the etchant resist. Gold is pretty, shiny,
