I have my 87 up and running, thanks for all the help on the filter caps. I have not done an alignment yet, I had to take all the trimmers apart and clean all the years of grim out. Even with out an alignment (Neutralization) this radio has some kick to it. I like it, this will be a daily driver soon. Icon_biggrin

I have another question, when I turn the radio off every time I hear a loud pop from the speaker. This happens no matter where the volume is at. Is this normal for this model? If not anything I should look at or anything I can do to stop this loud pop.

Thanks for any help.
