SX-117 Reciever Tuning Mechanism Slipping.
I just received a very nice SX-117, and started to clean it up. What is
nice about it, it only had light surface dust on it and cleaning up was only
wiping down with a rag and some pressurized air.

Re: Attached Ad for Hallicrafters........
Forgot to mention, look down on the bottom of the page on the left hand
side. It says "The Radio Shack". I wonder if that is/was the current
day "Radio Shack"? Anyone know?

Re: Capacitor testing
When I wrote that reply, I said to myself oops, I should have said I
