Re: Eddystone 888A.
Hi Al. Yes I have a decent LCR meter, at least it confirmed the values of the "errant" caps..I will try that tomoz... at some stage...
The next problem was very little BFO injection... I compared it with the 750 and the RF was way down.. about 30 db....looking in the BFO can, I spotted that pin 6 should be grounded, "G3" it was totally unsoldered... Plus one cap was soldered to a heater pin rather than the pin next to it.... It looks like this set was a "Friday afternoon" jobby.
Still it ok now.... just 15 to sort out now... I hope.
