Pretty much- I tried to match as closely as I could. I was thinking about that earlier. I just had a look inside, noticed one wire I hadn't replaced: so I replaced it. No change. I also touched up a couple soldered joints, and cleaned the adj. caps with cleaner, and let it dry.

It seems almost as if the dial were "compressed", and below 900 gone, above ranging. Any adjustments throw the others off.(Both SW are working nicely) If I tune 950 in(by turning to position, then dragging it in by turning VC) , then 1210 goes off to one side. If I tune 1060 in, 950 goes off... I have been trying to adjust the BC band "by ear" at this point, having not had luck with the right way. I even tweaked the RF cans, but still get this weird symptom.
