Glenn,
Is it safe to say look in the channel element for the bad cap ?
Tempeture is not a issue with this unit it was in a heated and A/C garage kept
about 65-80 degrees with dehumdifer. I am glad the new site is climate
controlled also.

If you have another channel element that has a crystal, I would use
it to determine if the problem is in the radio or the element.
I suspect that the bad capacitor is in the element.
What is the part number of the channel element?
73

Its a step jump 5 khz up and get - 200 hz of crystal movment. What silver mica
Cap is it? I have not looked inside a channel element in years usally send them
out and trust the mfg.
I also gave the crystal movement a thought but was is a temp controlled
enviroment.

We had this problem in Johnson radios.
What it turned out to be was a plate of a silver mica capacitor
coming disconnected internally in the capacitor.
This caused the capacitor to shift to a lower capacitance by the
amount that the plate contributed to the capacitor.
The lower capacitance
