Jerry: Thanks for the idea.. no guts no glory!! I used your method and changed all of the caps. It improved my band width on the upper 570k end some.. Not sure why. I did note the 1Uf cap was reading 1.6Uf.. Now I still need to work on alignment if I can figure that out, and sort out the tuner eye feature. It lights up and changes width when I select LD vs Local switch but not much in the middle .
