Default hallicrafters s-40a, bad band(s)

have done, 3 times, just as you say. the fingers seems to make good
contact (rise and fall as the switch is cycled). i can certainly do
again. i guess what i don't get is how i can get a nice signal thru
w/the gen -- tune the test signal and its images, but not tune
stations. i don't have a whole lot of experience w/this.

First, carefully clean the band switch wafer metal wipers with a cotton
Q-tip and some DeOxit.
No need for heavy handiness here -- just good patient (methodical) cleaning.
IF you are short on time or not patient that day -- do something else and
come back to it.
