Hi Joe,
Have you made any progress on your radio? I didn't see any responses on drakelist.
It seems the crystals are ok, so it must be a wire or more probably, a switch contact. The wafer switches on these radios seem to corrode a bit, with the metal parts turning black. You might be able to clean the rotary switch contacts sufficiently with De-Oxit, but I used a more thorough method on all the switches in my T-4XC. Check out http://www.wb4hfn.com/DrakeArticles/CleaningSwitches/CleaningSwitches.htm for details.
BTW, this web site is very well done and you will want to explore the other articles on it. Good luck.

I've added a lot of xtals to my R4C. I began to use position 11 which is now
in the 3 (bottom most) row. The entire row for positions 11-15 will not
work. The receiver acts as if the xtal sockets are empty. The xtal works
fine in other positions. I've swapped all combinations around and I know
there is a problem with the row. I looked at the obvious solder joints on
the switch and traced the connections of 3 wires going to the underside of
the chassis. Everything appears to be okay.
I now need to get in to it deeper and trace some lines with the VOM. Does
anyone have suggestions to narrow things down?
