As I was about to get to alignment, after having installed the tuning cap assembly back, it suddenly occured to me that I never looked inside the tuner assembly.
Sure enough, there were two caps and one resistor. One of the caps and the resistor were easy, but the second cap was not to be reached. It went deep inside the box.
So I had to take it apart, for which I had to remove the tuning cap assembly. Not to complain, it was easy, two screws.
Tthis is how the originall one looked with the lid open.
This is fully open.
And this is after recap and with a new resistor (it was 28K i/o 15K)
Now it is ready to be reassembled.
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.
