Answer
Hello patrick,
Are you getting any reception from the radio, weak or distorted? To test AGC you will have to (if possible) tune to any station and unplug the antenna and hook up a good volt meter to the AGC line if marked. To test AGC plug the antenna back in to see how much AGC voltage is on the AGC line. I suppose you do not have any service data for this radio. please give me all the numbers off this radio and I will look through my old data to come up with some service data for you.
