I got the second 30A1 chassis up and running by just replacing all the paper caps and a few resistors. I made sure not to touch the tuner or IF coils.

It has exactly the same issues as the first chassis - low audio and the 5U4 flashes over on power up.

So I''m going to add a CL-90 on the primary side of the power transformers to give it a soft power up and just live with the low sound volume for now.
