Model 16X - Problem With Radio Reception
#2

Without actually having the chassis in front of one of us, no one here can tell you exactly where the problem is.

All I can tell you is to very carefully trace out all of the connections, following the schematic. Something must have been miswired if it worked before it was recapped but doesn't work now. Check solder connections for good joints, and make sure there are no solder blobs shorting something out.

If this doesn't help, then it's time to start tracing using a signal tracer and signal generator. If you do not have either, you may need to find someone in your area to help you by looking over your shoulder and actually helping to look over the chassis.
