I am restoring this radio and have run into a problem that eludes me. I am hearing audio distortion using the FM band that does not appear when in the AM band. I have replaced most of the caps in the radio, aligned the IF, both by ear and by using a signal generator and scope. Sensitivity is on par with a working Gavotte 7, which I use as a base line model. Can anyone suggest where to look for the distortion? I have been told not to touch the RF amp if it is working.
