This is an update of my progress. I brought the chassis down off the hill to work on it during the week which I have done several times. This means I cannot power test my work until I plug it back into the speaker back up on the hill. I tested the mica caps by de-soldering one end and leaving them in place and only failed one for being out of range. The power at the retreat got me thinking and doing some research. The radio has only been powered up at the family retreat since repair, which is 100% solar/battery/inverter (full sine wave) and on top of that every light is a CFL. This along with being in a weak signal location is very problematic. I will bring the cabinet down to civilization for the remainder of test and repair this weekend.
