Other than not yet getting safety caps to replace the "problem" ceramic discs that nearly toasted this radio - I finished the recap a couple of weeks ago. Performance is okay - but not nearly as exceptional as I'd thought it'd be. I'm planning to check alignment when I get the time - perhaps that will improve performance a bit..... The bandspead is really quite disappointing.... you see all these exotic names on the "stationized" dials - only to be rudely reminded they are all - for the most part - defunct.... Icon_sad

..... Sure wish I'd had this radio 40 years ago...... Icon_wink
