well, things are improving.. have been going through the troubleshooting guide step by step... found a bad resistor in the FM section.. I think it sets a bias... anyway... replaced it and now can get all the local FM stations clearly, but as yet not very loud compared to the AM performance. So I will continue with my hunting.

I have a serious question. I clipped out Z404, and replaced it with a .01mf cap... but I am wondering if some of my problems now might be from replacing it without that makeshift inductor. Any thoughts ? Has anybody else just replaced it with a cap ? What were the results ?
