42-1011 chassis issues
#6

I misspoke, I meant button switch....not sure why I said knobs Icon_smile

In any case: do not attempt alignment or even troubleshooting before you do full recap; it is a wrong way and a folly.
If you read through many topics here you will see how many days and tons of effort could be saved if people did things by the book and not jump to troubleshooting before completing the whole groundwork. It is not that much, it will take you a couple of days but will save you weeks in troubleshooting.

As a matter of fact most of my radios did not require troubleshooting after I made sure I did what is common sense parts replacement before powerup. Just the alignment.

I also recommend you check your resistors and replace those grossly out of specs. This, though the radio often works without it, does affect the performance, sometimes a lot.
