Default nc-140 running hot

Thanks. I went and replaced the electrolytics. Replaced the 330 ohm 7w
with a 500ohm 25 watt. The 7 watt was swinging beyond 1K when hot. All
the other caps are mylars. The 12BE6 socket had a 6BE6 there. I dont
have a 12BE6, so I sent the 6V filament rail to that socket and will
run it with a good 6be6. Not the best remedy, but you know how it
is! Powered up and got some reception on the two lower bands, nothing
on the top three. My changes may have knocked the alignment way off,
so I'll realign and see if I can "wake it up", powering thru a variac
at 110. Any comments are appreciated.
