Well, here we go again,
I am tired of looking at the schematics on the 38-116 I have been playing with.
I replaced all of the caps other than a couple that are buried in the sub-chassis.
I found a coil buried in the center section that has a very fine hair like wire that I mistakenly broke, and attempted to re-solder.
The radio worked again after re-soldering that very fine wire.( I think I got it).
But after replacing the caps and some resistors, have not been able to get the radio working as it should.
I don't know if I missed something or screwed something up.
This one is probably a little over my head.
Would like to find someone local that could check it out and finish it for me without spending a small fortune.
Any suggestions?
