Welp, after getting home from work to work on this puppy, I replaced the 12k resistor that is part of the automatic volume control circuit. It has better sensitivity now and picks up a lot more stations, but some weaker stations still are not loud at the highest volume level. Also, the audio level goes in and out. After playing a while it it goes down really low. Is the LO out of tune? Should I check the rest of the components in the automatic volume control? RF converter transistor bad?
Thanks.
Jonathan
