I've had the same thing happen with those rocker switches in other equipment. It means nothing more than: "you need a new switch." When the contacts get bad, they get hot enough to melt and the sprin

The TL922 and the SB-220 have the same problem. The fix is to install a stepstart circuit using the original, way too slow T/R relay and two, 25-ohm, 10w resistors. see Figure 1 on my Web site. - Ri
