    On another note, what settings on a Tektronic 2235 would it be set at to read the audio. I do have a RF sensor I built, but not to sure where I need to set it to get the correct looking wave form. Thanks This is the waveform I'm getting, with audio. Didn't hookup my tone generator, just...

    I got the radio back. I had to replace the protection diode as my nephew put a square peg in a round hole and put the cord into the back of the radio just enough to short it out. Removed the C91 and replaced with a new one just out of caution, and I have some extra. Reading on my T7 do...

    I looked at those and it seems the positive goes to ground, but not sure if the board actually has the positive position marked correctly. If the board is marked correctly, then it's installed correctly after my re-cap, if not, and that we're not sure of, then I installed it incorrectly. I need...

    I found this Taiwan 25 like the one we're working on here. Kinda fuzzy as not a very good pic, but it seems to show that I have the new one in wrong..but fuzzy pic and fuzzy eye sight.

    C91 as far as I can tell, will have to research it more when I get the radio back. Won't be the first time the board was marked different than the position.

    No, I saw it too as I compared the old vs new cap position you pointed to.
