There was an electrolytic capacitor open and just passing your hand around near the IF would change the bars.

I do remember that if the IF cable was unplugged the bars were easier to find with the O-scope.

It's terrible to get Old, nothing works like it did when you were younger.

c208, a 5uf, usually a Callins. We replaced all of the Callins caps in Zeniths, as a way to prevent callbacks. 5uf 15 or 25V cap - just look for the black cap with red ends near the IF module.
