Tuning slug
On the older radios, there was a tuning slug that was in the tuning coil to fine tune reception. R 66 drifts and thus I wanted to try to tune it in prior to adding an aftermarket unit. Does anyone know where the slug is on these radios?

Are you referring to trimming the antenna??? If so, I believe it is located behind the **** on the tuner side. Just take off the **** and the bezel and you should be able to see it there. Hope this helps.

I believe Antenna trim is the correct term. I'll take a look.
Thank you gentlemen.

The trimmer caps which peak the sensitivity have nothing to do with frequency stability.

YEP, found it, missing the ground plane around the antenna and ground strap. I though the antenna was original, but appears to be a replacement. More $$$$$.
Thanks gentlemen.
