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

[joe d]

Thanks guys!
Yes, it's both rotors. I can't see a reason for it being switch related now (brand new switch).
 
It's not a solid state relay, it's stock. It doesn't get the B+ from a 6x4 tap.
 
I'll look at the tubes and the relay and see if it's sticking, maybe some deoxit might sove this one.
Thanks again!
