Don,
Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a try this wkn. I recapped 99%
of the rcvr but will go back and reck any cap on the AVC line. My diagnosis of
the mtr itself being faulty comes from two tests. First, I substituted a VOM
for the meter and the needle did not bounce around. Second, at the meter repair
store the mtr bounced a lot when hooked to a bench test supply. So I think I'll
go back and try the .05 cap across the mtr terminals. 73 Mike KF6KXG
