<DIV>I have just finished putting all new electrolytic caps and tubes and
resistors where needed in a set of SB301 / 401 twins for the local
University radio club. The tune up went fine, and the audio really sounds
excellent.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The set has only been operated a couple of times on the air since then, and
it probably sat for 4-5 years with no operation before my refurbishment.
My sense is that *occasionally* the AGC in the receiver is slow to
recover after coming out of transmit. Not always, but sometimes.
</DIV>

<DIV>Since there are many aficionados of this fine transmitter-receiver pair on
the list, I thought before probing I'd first ask for any 'frequently made
repairs' in the AGC if this is a common symptom. No need reinventing the
wheel. Perhaps I just need to get in and clean the relay contacts or
something. The AGC seems to work nicely otherwise, including the off /
fast / slow switch. </DIV>

<DIV>Many thanks for your time in reading this and for your responses.
