I thank both of you for the replies. I am having trouble with this thing being tuned so far out of spec. I would not have thought that it could be adjusted so far out. Since it appears that all adjustments appear to be compression caps, I suppose that they may be screwed down pretty tight, if I am thinkin' right.

It does tune pretty good across the band scale, but most of the stations are pretty weak. I figured it was mostly due to the bad caps in the RF section. Perhaps not.

I will dig into it sometime in the next week or so and see what happens.
