Hi, Don,

When I said that there is no C62 equivalent in the S-40A, I meant that
there is no capacitor like C62 that is connected around the switching
and resonant circuits so that it is completely independent of the
setting of the bandswitch.

We need somebody to LRC a sample switch.

Note that the S-40A uses an entirely different arrangement of coils and
capacitors and has no equivalent to C62 in the S-40B.

So why is the S-40B equipped with C62? Maybe switch S1B in the S-85
exhibits a higher capacitance between the two rotary segments than does
S1B in the S-40B, making C62 unnecessary to achieve the desired coupling
capacitance in the S-85.

Although the parts numbers are the same, maybe Hallicrafters used a
different switch vendor for the S-85.

Knowing this would matter only if someone were restoring a receiver and
expected a part number for one type to represent the same exact part for
another type. And maybe that's the case. But I haven't thought about
that until now.
