So after pulling the IF deck and looking at C553...it's already a 630V part,
so I figured I'd button her back up...but while I was in there I took a look
at the two resistors in question, R546 & R547; I sez "they're easy to get
to, what the heck" and added the 2 diodes in for the rest of the SSB AGC
mod.

And the band went out.  But on the couple SSB stations I can find, couple
guys working the Ohio Parks On The Air contest around 7205, all is good
indeed.  I'll see how she does after the sun goes around and 75 opens up...

Let's see, I did the whole geartrain cleaning and alignment, did the Rippel
audio mod, replaced the self-destructing 8uF cap on the audio board, checked
the filter-killer cap C553, added the 47pF and the 2 diodes for the SSB mod,
verified the presence of all 8 mechanical filter trimmers...I'm thinking a
full alignment is about all that's left.

Anyone else see anything else critical that I'm overlooking?
