Dave, you make a good point about adding new capacitors near the circuit connection point instead of physically replacing the old capacitors. I'm impressed how much space there is inside my BC-430.

I've received the 4-pin to 9-pin adapters I ordered from Ben, so I'll shortly be wiring those up to put 5763s in place of the missing tubes. My thought is to do the MO and PA first and get it running as a CW rig before worrying about the modulator stage.
