Thanks and good to hear from you. I replaced most of the caps and aligned it. The alignment went okay but there was one cap that went to near the end of its limit. All the tubes are okay. I added a fuse and changed the power to 3-wire.?
I suspect that some resistors need to be replaced as their body color is somewhat dull. I only checked one and it was in tolerance.
It seems to be somewhat lacking in sensitivity but then I only have an IC-7300 to compare it to. That isn't really a good pair to compare.
The big problem is why did I get it and what do I do with it now that I am done? I guess I just wanted to see what I could accomplish as physically it is in nice condition. It really is too large to economically ship considering what I already have in it. I would give it to a local youngster if I knew one who would appreciate it.

Hi Paul.? I had an NC-98 and a NC-190 years ago.? I liked the 98 better than the 190.? The 190 was very drifty and it had no RF stage for the AM broadcast band.? My sons now have them and they still work after I repaired and aligned them.? Good luck with your restoration.? Email me if you have any questions.? Maybe I can help you out.
