I split this into its own thread. Should be a good one! Man, that S-8900A brings back memories of listening to Nashville like a local station when I was living in Kentucky back in the 1980s, using one of those roof mounted Radio Shack omnidirectional FM antennas, on my S-8900A.

It's funny, I still have the antenna but not the receiver.

I'll let others answer the tracking question and the tantalum question. I think I would replace the tantalums - and replace anything 1 uF and smaller with film caps - but others may disagree.
