Dave,

I pushed it IN then out and it snapped toe the antenna location then
fell back to South. I messed with Cal switch and every once in a while
it would snap back to the corret psition... then fall back to South.

Something is wrong

the 'in' position is the calibration position. you press it in, turn the
knob to set the needle to the right side south stop, then release the
button. some models had a knob that locked in the 'in' position so you
pressed it in and released it to engage the calibrate circuit then pressed
again and released to turn it off

....with the cal switch, probably. Possibly dirty contacts, try cycling
the switch a dozen or so times, see if that helps. It might need a drop
(and I mean just A DROP) of contact cleaner, after which cycle the
switch a few times. The switch might need to be replaced.

Any other mechanical contacts, like the fuse (holder) mentioned? Are
all the screws holding the wires nice and tight? Any broken wires?

Good Luck,
