    It was in a bad 500uF, 15v axial electrolytic on the Detector/AF Board...and also in a tuned circuit on the Front End Board.

    The AGC changes really made the receiver come alive. Just 5 more boards to convert!

    I'm going to carefully disassemble mine and scan the front panel into a JPG image with the idea of making a silk screen mask. From there I can reproduce the panels - along with an internally metered "674" version - at will. The guts are plain ol' SA-2040.

    I paid the princely sum of $250 for mine. I don't think that all four prototype pieces I bought set me back that much in total!
