*Solved Minerva Tropic Master model w117 "early"-crackle pop & no vol ****SOLVED
#98

here is a shot of the final look under the set.

only one problem,, now that its all back together and on the shelf,,  i am picking up no short wave.
im thinking everytime i put it up next to the other sets,, its gets pissy. i dont think it likes the shelf.
perhaps i bumped something on the band switch,,,, dono.... will look later.

it rained today and there are some clouds but it seems to do a whole lot more of that cracks and pops like you hear on AM when there is a storm coming.  I plan to work the set really hard over the next few weeks and compare the cracks and pops to other sets... from there i will troubleshoot if need be.
