RCA 68R3 Help
#10

   

I have removed the trimmer C33 2.5-13pf and put in a 10pf silver mica while unsoldering C1 (27pf) came apart (could have been part of the original problem) so I had a 24pf I put it in. When I adjusted L3 and L1 and especially C31 it came alive. Now while doing a google search for 2.5-13pf trimmer I got a hit that took me to one of the electronic sellers and there it was the same part mounting holes and all so I ordered a couple of them should be here around the end of the week. I will change it as the far end around 108fm is a little faint.
