Many thanks to Andy, Cecil and Chuck for their advice and encouragement 
regarding my RF amp problem.  The BBOD recapping -- including the RF 
deck work -- was done by a patient former custodian.  When I bought the 
Hammarlund I had just done ground-up restorations of several Collins 
pieces, so was happy to acquire a "plug and play" set.  Oh well....

At any rate, the experience of removing and replacing he SP-600's RF 
deck will probably be an educational one and will give me a chance to 
explore the nether regions for other out-of-spec components. I'm sure 
there's more than one middle-aged resistor that's getting tired under 
there.

Thanks again, fellas.
