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.
