Thanks for the advise guys. I am new to radios but I can use a soldering iron and will do much reading before starting to do the recap myself. The radio by the way is a table model tombstone and it looked like it had never had a back on it. I have been listening to it already for a few hours at a time with no problems but will take your advise and rebuild it so that I know that it has been done. When you say that the squelching noise could be made by a dirty control how do you go about cleaning that? if there is a section that describes this if you could just point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks again for all the info!! Shawn
