Well...so far, I have found not one OBVIOUSLY-bad component, nor pinched wire.
However, I have found MULTIPLE loose screws, those which hold the various boards to the
chassis.
Also, some of the push-on connectors, those which have multiple connections per unit,
exhibit some white corrosion-looking material in them, and I found one that was loose,
although not completely fallen out..
I have removed screws, cleaned under boards, removed connectors, cleaned connectors,
cleaned pins, and am near to reassembling.
I also find a Fox-Tango YF-88H400 filter on the IF board, so obviously it has a 400 Hz CW
filter.
The Noise Blanker doesn't appear to work...at least it didn't before I began this exercise...
Still looking. Flashlights are my friend.
Working on IF board now....
