Hello:

Restoring a 42-380X and thus far replaced all the capacitors except one in a really difficult place to reach. Radio works ok but reception on the three tunable bands is weak at best. I have a 20' single wire antenna on it while it's on the test bench. The AM band is weak with with few stations coming in, the middle band is the weakest and requires you turn the volume way up to hear anything, and the other SW band receives some stations the stations, although, are garbled when tuned in making it near impossible to understand what is being said on the station. I think it needs to be tuned but I don't know how to tune it Your thoughts on what the problem is?

Second, ther are a series of what appears to be trimmer screws on the side of the top surface of the chassis, which seems to be for tuning purposes. Does anyone know where I can get the operation manual for this, perhaps on line and for free? Thank you for your help

God bless,

Dave B
