I just finished replacing caps,installing the rebuilt cartrige in my RP-3. Just to find out it has to sit no more then 2 feet from a radio to work. I tested the tubes (they're good), checked resistor resistance(w/in specs), played with the tuning adjustment and doubled checked connections and antenna. From what I read the range should be up to 25 feet or was this a marketing ploy. Any ideas! Thanks, Richard

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
