Cant really take a pic of the variable caps (inside the SECONDARY IF can). But its a bit crackly when i try to adjust these 2.....
So, i took a shot at it.... RF gen set to 460, dial set at 520, cap off of 1st IF.. .1 cap in series with line to grid of 1st IF tube, and.... SILENCE... Didnt hear a tone till i bumped the dial of the SIG GEN up to 500.. and proceeded to peak the If section.. It did improve the performance in reception. Just curious if the .1 cap in series is affecting accuracy, or is something in the radio WAY OUT??
