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....
