Hi Bill and Ron,
In the recent past I have done two electronic restorations of model 47-1230 for others, and I have a nice original one of my own still awaiting restoration. (As they say, the cobbler's own shoes always get repaired last!)
But in answer to your question Ron, I have found FM reception to be outstanding on the models 47-1230 I have worked on, once properly aligned.
Bill, in regard to that feedthrough cap, I have always used the method of replacing it as Ron describes on his website, and have never had any problem with it.
