Gentlemen, thanks for the advice. After a really busy life delay, all the resistors were replaced. The tuning capacitor was checked for ground resistance and an alignment was done. It is now working fine. The sensitivity is OK but not great and the birdies and motivating are gone. It sits on my desk in the office and I listen to Fox Sports 1. They have most Gator sports on live. I will say it was the most touchy radio to align. But it is a Phil co made in my home town. Thanks again.
