[R-390] Z702 C709 Adjustments

Barry,

It looks like you are still dealing with a low output on your VFO.

You get this one solved and you are going to be the best of class on VFO.

It sounded as if running with C709 open did provide a larger output signal.

I do not favor running VFO through the dish washer.

However a good dry cleaning and some re soldering could be in order here.

Get out the magnifying glass and start a good visual inspection.

More of a shotgun approach rather than a logical approach.

That slug of caps can be replaced. Several disk set up side by side to 
replace the original mass pack. That's do all replacement to get the things to fit. 
As said lead length is a factor.

I can envision a film in C709 that would let that cap leak.
I know not how to prove it is leaking.
I know not how to clean it.

I have all kinds of ideas. But a real solution I do not Know.
