[Amps] Bird thruline slug socket problem

[A.J.Moss]

Hi everyone,

     Got a problem with the socket on my bird thruline. Most slugs insert just fine, but some catch on the contact finger. I'm guessing that the contact fingers themselves may be worn, as they have a little wear on the very top edge of the contact. The problem slugs insert just fine in another '43 which I have.

   I'm loathe to bend the contact fingers as that may detriment the contact on the slug contacts resulting in no reading, or intermittent readings at best. Does anyone know the mechanical settings for these contact fingers, or alternatively whether they're available (and what's the QRK for such replacements).

Thanks for reading this plea

A.
