Skip: can not answer your question BUT....wish you luck on the upgrade...need all of
the hams we can get to use and keep our HF, VHF and UHF frequencies. Good luck and

>1) The manual shows C-69A,B,C on top of the chassis centered near the back - my 111 has a tube there (6BY6).  The C-69 on mine (an electroytic) is mounted under the chassis near the power transformer.  
>The manual has 14 tubes - mine has 15 tubes.
>2) The tube in question seems to be very microphonic - tapping the receiver anywhere and it rings but the 6BY6 seems to be the most microphonic.
>3) The procedure for checking and adjusting the Notch Filter is not very explicit in the manual I have.
>4) The crystal calibrator seems to stay on at times although I turn it off but this I need to check further before being certain.
>Otherwise, when it's working properly, the receiver is very sensitivity and selective.  If any SX-111 owners have some thoughts on the above please share them.
>   I am finding the path to CW operation is not a direct one - my code is almost there (well 90% at 5 wpm) and my General test samples close to averaging 90% so I guess I'm slowly getting there.
>   Any finally, is the consensus to replace all black beauty caps regardless of how the set operates?
>Thanks.
