Hi All,

I'm closing in on my first success. I took a dead 42-PT94, recapped it, swapped out the resistors, fixed up some of the crumbling rubber insulated wiring, and it's playing quite well. Pretty exciting.

In aligning it, I get no reaction from the antenna trimmer. The IF's and the oscillator trimmers act just as they should, but no output variance from the antenna trimmer. What don't I understand? (I'll admit that's a whole lot at this stage of my education).
