Hallicrafters S-20R

[hvlee]

I don't know how relevant this is since you're measuring a short, but I've only been able to get my S-20R to work with the 6K8 that came with it. I've tried others, both glass and metal, but only this one works. One of these days I'll be in trouble if this one fails and I can't find another which works.

Also, I had a problem with the bandswitch after cleaning with DeoxIT. Apparently I had created a bridge somewhere on the switch either conductive residue or a piece of something came loose. After seeing a bunch of warnings about DeoxIT, I've started spraying band switches with carburetor cleaner and then compressed air to remove the DeoxIT residue. This has cleared up a number of problems for me.
