Bob:

I wonder how you can tighten that spring?

And, I have had your problem occasionally with the on-off button, but I find 
if I just keep working with it, it'll eventually come on.  Hope those aren't 
famous last words!  (grin)

Hello Tom,
Bob, K9BOB replying.
I wonder if the spring on the snap on the top of the radio has to be
adjusted?
Tom, I also have a T H F 6. for some reason it will not turn on when I push
the on off button.
Wonder if you have any suggestions. I have also had the radio 7 years and am
thinking of sending it in.
Bob
