Back to the Drawing Board
#4

Skyscraper, Codefox,

Thanks for the replies! I will definitely try resoldering the 75 cap. I will also try light tapping on the tubes and see if that induces the noise. I already recapped and cleaned the tone control and other switches when I had it on the bench the first time.

Something is going on with the radio. Performance is degrading noticeably since yesterday. I get no stations at all below about 850 or 900 on AM. Shortwave still seems to work though that is harder to tell because there isn't much on that band. I think something is going on (failing) with the oscillator. I will take it all apart (cry) and check things out over the weekend. I'm heading to K'town tomorrow.

Thanks again guys!
Jon
