Glad to help out and get your set back in the pink. Enjoyed chatting with you.

> But I still have the motor boating problem.
You can try adj #26 just a little and see if it calms it down. Add more capacitance to #20 and or add a cap at the bottom of the second IF transformer at the B+ connection, .05 or .1mfd @ 630v is fine. Keep leads as short as necessary to make connections. Also have a look at that 2meg resistor to be sure it's close to 2 megs ( it's part of the avc circuit).

Slight adjustment of Trimmer # 26 and motorboat is gone!

I just finished swapping out the Filter bank capacitors, re-assembled the radio and she's playing beautifully Icon_e_biggrin

Greatly appreciate all the help!

Matt
