Audioline 341 CB27/81 UK FM CB radio - re-alignment & 9 new capacitors.

As usual on this 1981 chassis, it was necessary to change the four dodgy electrolytic capacitors....one of which tested open circuit.
It wasn't easy to tune the transmitter for 4W throught the 40 channels, but I got there in the end. Likewise, the receiver was as deaf as a Cobra 29. After careful re-alignment I still decided to change 5 capacitors in the receiver which made little difference. However, after that treatment the receivrer was able to be aligned better than the limit spec shown in the service manual.

Interesting align with a classic set, I always liked those but never owned one knew a lot of breakers who had them at the time.

Good (for the time) the front panel wires didn't sprawl across the board
