Chuck,

Can you point me to a link or web site that describes this proceedure ?

Stupid question, but I must ask. When you refer to the "trimmers" are you talking about the tuning capacitor.

Do I need to physically remove the tuning capacitor ?

What a mess, what a nightmare. I guess every mistake I make now is one less I will make in the future, but this has just been a terribly frustrating experience. Hopefully the damage can be undone.

Thanks again Chuck and everyone else for your help.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
