So, recap/recarb has been finbished.

Now I have a question:

It seems that a resistor with the value of about 80 ohms has been placed between the RF AMP plate and the rest of the circuitry (Cap #40, a 100pF and a band switch's contact). I cannot find the service bulletin mentioning that.
The soldering is clearly original factory one so it is not some repairman's "improvement".

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
