Continuing on the restoration.
The volume pot was iffy. I took it apart, and discovered cracks in the wiper surface. So I ordered and just replaced the control.
I did an alignment, but I’m getting this weird oscillating between 14-16 MHz on the upper SW band.
Is there something I should look for, like an out of tolerance resistor or mica cap that might need replacing?
Here’s a video demonstrating it.
