Apologize for not getting back, still playing around with this radio. Yes it has been totally recapped and checked out. I see what you are saying, I did monitor it on the vtvm and saw the instability it created esp. on upper volume, still a fantastic sound that I have never heard from it. Proud to say I see many of the problems mentioned in Rider books when working with this radio - digging down into the books and seeing the same things on the scope when I feed it with the generator. - have learned alot from this unit, great tool and reading how they progressed in the 30's.
