Thanks Tom, I mistakenly thought if I cleaned and reworked the springs alone on the PTO, it would cure the problem. I implemented the fix per the URL's and the RV-7 is solid again. I used a piece of "solder wick" for the ground strap.
Good DX and thanks again! 73 de W4DL Mike ex AK7P * WA9SWF * WN9SWF
