My 38-116 chassis is restored except for magnetic tuning calibration.Problem appears to be subject switch stays in shorted position at all times. The contacts are not "welded" together and can be separated with an alignment tool.The switch seems to be a poor design in my opinion but there must be a way to make it work. Am I the first to have this problem? Please help before I fix it with a hammer.
