Steve:
I know it shouldn't but taking the cover off the Astron makes me kind of
skiddish, but I may just have to do that to check that pot and be sure my
voltage isn't somehow fluctuating.
If anyone has some safe and blind-friendly instructions as to how to check
and possibly adjust the RS35 voltage pot, please send them my way.
I want to keep it a pleasant experience. (smile)
