<p>Anyone have a spare DX100 or 100b meter in the junk box they would let go to assist the restoration of this great rig?</p>
<p>Many years ago, the filter caps in the negative voltage circuit blew up and I put the rig on the shelf for future restoration.</p>
<p>Recently I got the desire to put this rig back on the air and I replaced the caps. ( I was amazed how much caps have shrunk in</p>
<p>size over the years. Higher value and voltage capability caps are about one quarter the size of the originals).
<br>
</p>
<p>Great success ... last night the rig put out power, which I can see on a watt meter, but the needle on the meter is stuck about</p>
<p>one third of the way up and I get no readings, or sporadic readings when I switch through the various positions.</p>
I'm going to contact clean the switch contacts, but I'm still concerned about the needle stuck in position.</div>
