this is a very common problem with this chassis.
many times ive been able to get it to work correctly, but a couple of times i had to set "center" a bit off from true center of the pot.
i usually use a 10 turn pot when doing these clarifiers, and if you are willing to have only 4 turns up and 6 turns down (instead of 5 in either direction) then you can get the clarifier to center up nicely and have 6+ KHZ of slide in either direction.
if you want to try to keep the stock pot centered, the values to play with are R174 and R175.
+8 volts sets the top range. no increasing this unless you want to use an external regulator like a 7809.
R175 sets the bottom range. lower its value for more down range.
dont go any lower than about 100 ohms for power supply protection.
(i usually replace R175 with a diode for max range while still protecting the power supply)
R174 sets the "center". playing with its value will shift the center of the clarifier range.
i usually use a jumper here, but again im using 10 turn pots.
you dont need to keep replacing components, your radio works fine, they are just like this.
