Eico 324 Drop-out issue
#1

Hi guys, I have an Eico 324 that I bought off of Ebay a few months ago. It had been recapped (mostly) and a few resistors changed. Anyway I recently got a counter hooked up to it and found that on all frequencys it was a dead at the same point about 430KC and after, like the tuning cap has a short or something. Anyway, I went ahead and changed the remaining caps and resistors that the other guy didn't, tested the tubes and removed the silicon rectifier and replaced it with a 1N4007 diode resistor and new electrolytic caps. Today I started setting the alignment and it is pretty dang close, but I still have a dead spot on all frequencies and then it comes back. On B setting it is dead between 430K - 600KC and then it comes back and it pretty dang close on the counter. It is the same spot on all knob positions. Any ideas as to what is causing the dead spot? I see no contact on the plates of the tuner cap. Does anyone have any ideas?
Terry if you remember when I was using this when you helping set the 60L I was experiencing the drop out.
