[Hallicrafters] SX-62 Run 2 overhaul

[Phil Atchley]

Hi.
This afternoon a gentleman just dropped off a SX-62/2 for overhaul.  A brief
cursory check shows that it plays, not good sensitivity or anything.  It
seems the first two RF amplifiers are dead. Probably a capacitor as it plays
much better if I attach the antenna to the 3rd section of the tuning
capacitor (bypasses the RF stages).

A brief resistance check also shows that many of the resistors are way out
of tolerance, mostly on the high side.

Any "gotcha's" to watch out for in this receiver while I'm working on it?
