38-116 repair help
#11

Phlog, your chassis looks worse than mine to get to. I have a code 125 which does not have the trimmer caps (or most of them) in that sub chassis but are mounted outside. Even removing it, which I'm a little scared to do, I don't see how you access the top of it. Do the sides remove? I will have to look at the idea posted above about removing the tuner and installing the cap through a hole but that sounds worse than brain surgery. I need to identify the cap. Hard to tell on the parts diagram. I will get out my glasses.Icon_crazy
I believe this is a pic I took which will not show the cap, it is buried under the whole thing and this is the last (rear) section of the RF chassis. It is below the bottom coil and seems to to between two sections of the band switch although one can not see either end of the cap. Who ever designed this radio or many of the same should be hung. Well, there probably dead any way.
