Quote:The large multi-section cap appears to be a replacement. You may have better results replacing the values with modern electolytics and terminal strips.

Yep, getting new ones tomorrow.

A couple of questions about parts for this one. Does the crack in the oscillator coil indicate impending doom for it? Actually, the primary and secondary is right on the money according to schematic resistance figures.

Also, the small 47 pf cap, it shows as a short(OL) on my Fluke meter. I didn't think these sort of caps ever failed.
