OK,
This thing is SEN-SI-TIVE !!!
I finished recap, checked resistor (most good, some out of tolerance but from the sch POV is acceptablebonsidering changing them is next to a torture and risks major rewiring after that) - reconnected the electrolytic cap I had to restuff (I did not restuff others - too tight, but the lytic I had to - the distance between wires is such that I do need a long tube to hold them caps), brought it on variac, heard static, rotated the shaft....PLENTY of stations, remote, local...
This little gizmo of an antenna at the back is good!
OK, Kirk....
DONE!!!
