You're welcome. I have the dead receiver problem, too, but transmitting
into a dummy load for a few seconds on the affected band always
corrects it.
The pots on my Paragon periodically become scratchy and need to be
cleaned. I think that Ten Tec just used cheap pots in the Paragon.
Really good potentiometers like the old Allen Bradley, Clarostat, and
Centralab are hard to find, especially in a miniature size.

The front panel is on hinges. Take off the top and bottom covers. There
will be a screw on each side of the front panel. Remove these 2 screws

not to put any strain on the potentiometer leads, or the phenolic on the
back of the pot will break.
Hi Bob,
THANKS MUCH for posting this! Last night I was able to get a little
Deoxit into the RF gain pot but was really struggling with how I was
going to access the other pots. This will make it much easier and I
really appreciate it!
thanks much and 73,
