I have this restored, but believe I have an oscillation issue. I'll turn on the radio, I can here some noise coming from the speaker no stations. I take my meter to check voltage on the plate of the XXL, the stations pop right in as soon as I touch it. It will stay playing for a very long time. After the radio cools off it will not start again unless I check the voltage on pin 2 the plate. I don't have any other XXL's to try, may have to order a few.

What else could be the problem.
