PROBLEM: Technics SA-400 FM Stereo Alignment
I have a gut feeling that this problem is due to simple component drift, and
not to the need for a complete alignment.
Am I correct in assuming that resetting the VCO control restores stereo
reception? If so...
Try replacing the pot with a cermet trimmer. It should have better long-term
stability.
When I owned the Heath "Most-Accurate Clock", I had stability problems that
went away when I replaced the carbon calibration pots with cermet.
Just a thought.
