The main issue with SB-220 band switches is because of the front panel
layout, the band switch gets turned instead of the loading control when
in tune-up mode.
YES THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM, BUT THAT DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE 10 METER AND
15 METER CONTACTS BEING BLOWN AWAY.
The very late SB-220s and HL-2200s had longer tune caps. Or Heathkit
made them available on a replacement basis. I have seen several SB-220s
with them.
OF THE DOZENS I HAVE SEEN INCLUDING HL-2200'S THIS WAS NOT THE CASE ALTHOUGH
I NEVER TOOK MEASUREMENTS MY FEELING IS THEY WERE ALL THE SAME.
