48-206 - Tuning changes as it warms up
#1

Hi,

I restored the electronics for my 48-206 a month or two ago and since then I have been using it in my garage as I work on other cabinets.
However, I'm not very happy with the performance.  If I tune in a station after it powers up, I find that I have to go back to it and adjust the tuning four or five times over the next 20 minutes.  After about 20 minutes or so the tuning stabilizes.  I do not see this behavior in any of my other radios.  Is this indicative of a faulty alignment, or is it just that it was an inexpensive model with so-so performance, or something else altogether?
Thanks,
J
