| Here is where I believe the
(band switch) trouble began....
Use a mirror to examine these parts closely so you can view the bottoms and then replace these weak links with parts from http://www.vcnet.com/measures/ . Install all the parts in the 572B kit.

informative sketch of the retrofit wiring

| I am indebted to John, VE7ML; Dale, VE7SV; and Chuck, VE7WO for their invaluable assistance in making repairs to this amplifier -- without them, this amp would likely have become scrap metal. | |
