[TenTec] Omni A - D Series B project

[David Goncalves]

Just been working on a set just like yours:

 1)       Frequency display shows 9.000.0 or 1.000.0, on the 29.5, 29.0, AUX
> and 3.5 band positions with no TX or RX on these bands
>
Treat switches with DeOxit, see #3. Also try removing the crystals, wiping
with DeOxit, tweaking the sockets (just a little) and reinserting. Careful
with the order.

>
> 2)       The PTO will have to be rebuilt as tuning is super super slow.
> Never done one, but I believe TenTec still sells the kit still.
>
Yes they do. $35.

>
> 3)       Some scratchy pots ant switches are going to need some de-oxit
>
See the TenTec WIKI. DN5 followed by D5N Shield, has to be plastic safe. And
a little goes ALOOOONG way, believe me. And just a tiny tiny drop
of lubricant on the bandswitch detent mechanism.

>
> 4)       The band switch is somwhat stiff when going into the 29.0 and 29.5
> positions
>
> Prolly because the owner didn't go up there much. The detent lubrication
will help that.

They are great rigs, aren't they?
