Ok, Thanks for your input.

Strange enough I went back and did another alignment on the Standard (AM) band and now the voltages are a bit lower and the voltage across the Shadow meter is much better. Around 4-6 volts depending on the tuning, as you would expect.

Not sure what I did.

The radio has been playing all along, since I recapped it. Just trying to get it pulling in stations better and clearer.

Thanks again. Bill
