Success!!!
Success!!!![Clinto :clinto: :clinto:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/snoopydance.gif)
This morning I removed the cover over the electrical portion of the set and man was it dusty and GRIT-TY!! There is some light corrosion in places but everything was tight. I sprayed all the connections on the terminal strips to remove the surface dust and dirt.![image.jpg image.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/491/491631-5dd02b692692ebe559ff01c347c74900.jpg)

S8 was about as gritty switching as I've ever seen any rotary type switch. Using about 1/3 a can of electronics cleaner spray I cleaned it getting into any crevice I could and worked the switch back and forth a couple of dozen times until it smoothed out, then repeated the process.
Allowed it to dry a bit and started the generator up and Bammm!!!! AC volt meter working just as it should!
I cannot thank all of you enough for your input and particular thanks to Guyfang for his suggestion of S6 and S8, setting and cleaning.....YOU are the man!
Now to build a load bank, install the suggested fuse/holder and MOV mod( I have a temporary 3 amp blade fuse installed now) then take some compressed air to the compartments and blow them out.
I printed out the schematic this morning and will be studying it intently.
Success!!!
