Thanks for the advice Texasrocker, I have been very careful and I do ask a lot of questions. Maybe a short writeup about the basics of checking circuits and other helpful tips for us newbies would be a good sticky for the forum.

I have a couple of resistors that don't read what their suppose to read, I haven't isolated them yet from the circuit and checked it without being wired in. I have a question about resistors, if one is out of range, what would you expect to hear or whatever from the radio. Would I notice if one was out of range?

One of the things that I'm having trouble with right now as I check all the resistors and capacitors is identifying which one I'm testing. I look at the parts sheet that shows me where in the radio it is, but there are also a lot of other "parts" that look the same in the same spot in the radio. The schematics help some on tracing which one is which, but it can be very confusing.

I think I'm getting all my Am stations, though some are kinda feint. I'm going to do some finishing up with replacing some rubber parts and re string my dial cord. Are the fins in or out on the tuning wheel when positioning the string for the first time? Is "in" all the way at the bottom of the dial and "out" the top or right of the dial?

Thanks,

Jeff
