Both you guys are amazing! I have read Phil's resoration pages about a
hundred times (I think I have most of it memorized). I have a very nice
SX-28. While I am still trying to fix the AVC, the receiver is sensitive
on all bands and sounds wonderful through that PM-23. I keep reading
Phil's description on changing the caps in the RF area, trying to get the
nerve to go in there. I have checked or replaced everything else. Great
photos, Brian. If you ever get bored and miss working on one, let me
know! hehe

Just take it slow and methodical, make notes. Mark any leads you cut to
make it easier etc. Be careful of the wafer switches when you ease out the
band switch shaft etc....
If we can do it ,you can.

I can definately agree with BH on the notes........It is a pain in the ass
to be taken away from a project and if it is to be a day or so, trying to
recall where you left off or maybe any voltages you had, results, parts you
swapped out, were hunting for, etc. Maybe it be family issues or other - can
"really" make you lose track. Hopefully too - you have a spot where you can
leave the radio and no one will disturb it. The electronics part - for me,
is fun. The "cabinet" part - BH, Phil, etc........ WOW - they've done such
good work! Fortunately any sets I've had to date didn't have to be redone
cabinet wise. I would have a time at it, trying to match their neatness -
there. But if I had to choose, I'd rather do the metal cabinets - over the
wooden ones. Some of these guys - those doing the wooden ones - have done
MARVELOUS work.......
