[TenTec] Corsair II QSK

I picked up a bargain Corsair II today with matching PSU and desk mic- 
well, you never know when you might need a spare:)

At the price, I expected there might be a few problems, but all seems 
well apart from:

1) PTO slipping. That's no problem - I have a rebuild kit, and I already 
have one rebuild under my belt so I wont be so scared next time :)

2) On CW, with fast QSK selected, it doesn't drop back to Rx between 
characters, even at slow speeds. The recovery time is shorter than if 
you select SLOW QSK, but it's not the full QSK I have on my other 
Corsair II. I don't recall there being any adjustment for the recovery 
time, so I assume this is a fault. Before I dive in to fault-find, does 
anyone have any advice on where to look? Has anyone seen this fault before?

73,
