Hey Nomad.

The 11.1125 Xtal was pulled and replace with the 11.3258 xtal for the channel mod with pad 10 isolated and this 142 does not have a C132 in it.

I was shooting blank's and pulled L24 and checked it, It's spoda be a 470Uh choke and it measured 350Uh. I pulled a L25 from a old board that measured 90Uh and installed it in the L24 spot and checking the CT3 measurement it now checks at 34.98098 at centered clarifier. The spec is 34.98750

With the clarifier full CCW it measured 34.97889 and at full CW it measured 34.98297.

Since i just soldered the L24 down on the bottom side of the board to make it easy, i decided to leave the L24 out of the circuit and the CT3 measured out at 34,98016.

I'm thinking of putting the clarifier back original as far as reinstalling the R187 and a 3.3K resister in the ground side and reinstalling D36 and put the original L24 back in and see if i can get the CT3 back in speck. 

One thing about all these clarifier mod's i see is everyone say's to remove the orange wire from the clarifier control and install it to Pin 3 of IC-5 (MB3756)

Well the way i see it, Pins 1,3,and 6 of IC-5 are all 8.05VDC and Pin 6 is the same power going to the orange wire at the clarifier as it was originally. So i don't understand removing the orange wire and reinstalling it to the same 8.05VDC it was taken from.

I think the sam's book just doesn't post that the 8.05 volt's is in RX mode in there 142GTL CB-219 book as i posted in the last paragraph.

And i also reinstalled L24 and removed the center wire from the clarifier and retested CT3 and it's no different, so disabling the clarifier circuit it   made no difference. 

And the checking goes on.
