[HAM] Spinning like a monkey (fast/slow switching probs)

[John Freund]

Nah.  If it was the slow not engaging then the top would stop immediately
and the lower would stop eventually.  Joe said they "keep spinning".

Could be several things.  Relay, control tube, kit prob, open connection
along the switching voltage.  Do you have stock or SS relays, Joe?  How is
the kit supplied with B+...Leslie or 6x4 tap?

Swap the tube, check the relay for stickiness if it's stock, check all the
connections for a place where the switching voltage could be interrupted, as
well as the connections for the B+ supply, and check your work on the
switch.  If all that is good then it might be the kit.  Swap it with a known
good one.  

Past that, this player/tech-doodler can't help you.
