Hi Sam
Thanks for your reply, I not sure if I can explain my thinking very well, but if the IF resonant frequency is higher and the oscillator frequency is the same then wont it "in effect" search for a higher RF frequency in order for the resonant circuits to work. At the moment R4 is showing at a lower frequency on the dial 1600 so it will tend to be in tune at a 10kHz higher frequency marking on the dial 1500.
Am I nuts, or does this make sense to anyone else.
Thanks Mike
p.s.
Metal tools and spanners upset the trimmers in this radio so I have made myself a little trimming tool. I found a piece of nylon and drilled a hole in the centre the size of the "flats" across a 4 BA nut. I then heated the nut and pushed it into the end of the nylon.
