Today.
Measured from the top of the fixed vanes to the wire that comes through the chassis to the switch, 5 ohms on the avo.
In the process of taking out the gang assy.
Suspect the screw connections that fix the tag to the vane assy mounting.
I remember cleaning the top screws, should have checked the bottom at the time, silly me. Convinced myself that the bottom screws were ok, so I needn't take out the assy..
Taking the gang asy out is a major job, going to take a few days.
I will put the gang on my test rig before remounting it on the chassis.
John.
