Great Work JTiner!! CHU is great for verifying that band works. The programming content is a little boring Icon_smile.

If that contact was supposed to be soldered, you won't be able to coach or discipline the assembly line worker who did it, as the radio is 80 - 82 years old.

I have seen versions of that switch where the connection is made by push in, similar to those cheap version backwire outlets (the ones where springs and not a screw tightened wedge secures the connection)

Great job on the fix!!
