38-62 - can't get the one station I want to hear!
#30

Paul,

You say you recapped. Did you check for and possibly change any out of tolerance resistors? I guess I'm just wondering if you've double checked your work. For instance, if in changing a resistor, you put one leg back in the wrong place you might introduce a resistance into an LC tuning circuit. This would negatively affect the selectivity of the set (potentially allowing you to receive multiple stations at once that you mention in your most recent post).

Good luck.
Jon
