Chuck, and all, If I were to replace, say, a .05mfd capacitor, with perhaps a .0047 rather than a .047, such as at locations 6, 13, and 15 in my Ant. and RF sections of the subchassis, would they work for a bit, then give me the problems I am experiencing?

Seems I may have done just that... I appear to have added an extra "0" to the numbers I needed for these condensors, and so have been operating with the wrong values. I just pulled the RF subchassis apart to check switches and coils per Chuck's suggestions, and noticed the new pieces I picked up(which have correct numbers) as spares, in case I needed to replace them this time, were a good deal larger than what I already had put in there: thus I went back and checked my original notes, and discovered my error...

I just went back to my notes, and bills for parts, and confirmed my error...

Never write stuff when tired!

I will be waiting for confirmation of my theories here...

Thanks
Scott(who feels stupid. er)
