Roger,
Thank for all the assistance and the cookbook recipe for locating the
problem. It was a problem in the IF deck. After failing the tests from
your instructions I went back and started a DC analysis. The voltages
were pretty wonky so I discontinued the DC analysis and went back to
carefully look over my work of replacing the caps in the IF deck.
I found the bottom connection of R536 was shorted to ground. I also
made sure all the caps I replace were connected to the proper points
by the schematic. I found no other problem, but moved a few wires
around to be sure they were not shorting.
The result is I have a working receiver again!
I plan to pull the IF deck again this afternoon. The filter switch
feels kind of mushy and I want to see if I can give it some snap.
Thanks Again!
Jim
