Ummm, getting back on topic...
Today, a CARE package arrived from Mansfield, Texas:

A bag full of capacitors plus a couple 2N2924 transistors, some zener diodes, a few new mica TO-3 insulators and some heat sink compound so I can make sure the right channel driver and output transistors in the 4400 are installed properly.
This also arrived:

Advertised as "fully operational," it isn't - the AM section puts out a signal around 895 kc and will not tune up or down. The FM section does not work at all. I was hoping to use this to make aligning receivers easy. Well, I will just have to find another and hope the next one actually works.
Fortunately, the seller accepts returns and covers return shipping, so I'll be getting a refund for this unit.
So this weekend, I'll be replacing electrolytics in the 4400...and then starting on the 440-T.
