On the AF unit (bottom of radio, left front, with knobs to you) locate the
smaller enclosed VCO. Beside it is TP2. Using a insulated adjusting tool
turn the small trimmer cap in the VCO several times to remove oxidation. The
set it to 5v measured at TP2 using a voltmeter.

This is the enclosed area with only one hole in it. DO NOT TOUCH the one
with 4 holes.
