Well, I checked the filter caps- polarity is correct so I powered up again and this time no smoke! I unplugged and finished replacing the paper caps and fired it up again. There are 3 AM stations within 3 miles of me and I couldn't pick them up...but at about 1100 I picked up ESPN radio from where I have no idea. Not from around here. It was very quiet and static filled and they never gave call letters or city. And on the second SW band I heard a preacher- again, faintly. What the heck is wrong now?
