The radio "motor boated" when using  Manual Gain Control while aligning 
it.  Replaced all the paper caps, except these .5uf.
Checked and replaced about 1/2 of the resistors, were out of spec. I 
suspect that at least one the  metal cans is bad.

Thanks.  So CAPS in metal cans have been replaced.
Mark the caps and their placement. Go outside. Bolt caps to scrap of 
wood  2X4;  place over a container;  remove solder using a heavy 
soldering Iron with an ACID brush;  watch out for the oil.  If the 
insulators burn off then use RED RTV to rebuild them.

Sean:  "I used an acid brush to remove the solder."
What is an acid brush?  I have Brass brushes and Steel brushes.   Have 
solder wick.

Any way looks like a production, do one do them all.

Later
Hutch
