Receiver would not fully mute, S-Meter would not go past S-9 when turning RF Gain Counter Clockwise. TP2 Voltages were not correct. Bias Voltage was good when circuit was 'unhooked' from the P/S board. Cap tested leaky compared to new one on the old Heathkit C-3 Cap checker. The new filter Cap from AES is a Sprauge Atom 10uf @ 500v which was a close as I could find to the original from Digi Key or AES at order time. The fit is a 'B' fit and required slight enlargement of the holes on the board which I did with the point of an exacto knife in just a min or two. Clearance is 'OK' if you fit it in close to the board. I added some heat shrink but it is probably not needed. After fitting the new Cap the AVC voltages all aligned up as per section 6.4.9 of the manual.
