Sounds fair. There is wax visible on each end, so that makes sense. I won't try to figure out why they are there, and rewire the new caps and resistors per schematic. I also noticed both electrolytics were tied to ground rather than one going to centertap. Other than that the rest seems to be original.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
