thank you, point taken re:obsolete components. this unit is mostly an exercise for me in practicing my component R&R technique, so if it does end up in landfill I won't be too disappointed. I finally sprung for a Hakko desoldering station and what a difference vs. the plunger types.
I am emberrassed to say I do have 6 other tuners - two Sony XDR-F1HDs (one with the full monty mods by the XDR guy and one where I simply removed the undesirable filter caps that kill the HF response), two Sony JT-75s (one needs an alignment, one sounds perfect), one Scott 112B that sounds very musical but has a small amount of hiss in stereo reception on my favorite relatively weak station), and one Dynaco FM-3 that I did some work on,eliminated all the hum,sounds great, but I will do more restoral including pec upgrade.
The F90 sounds fine except for the "popping". If I can fix it I will see if I can give it away to another poor retired guy like me who loves classical music.
Ping me in a month or two if feel you qualify ;)
