Ok, I aligned the IFs. All seemed to be working fine. I noticed occasionally there was a pop, and reception would drop, sometimes to nothing. Then it went out almost completely. This is only on the LW BCB and Police bands. Lower & upper SW bands are fine. If I touch the #77 1st detector grid cap, reception comes screaming back.

Any ideas?
