MY opinion is the following:

1) replace one or both of the IF filters, if both are done, a variable cap
must be added across X2 and a switch must be added to go between the
filters.
2) remove the purple wire and stop the tuning pops
3) add two caps for the Xtalk fix
4) add a cap to increase bass response
5) add a cap to further reduce AC hum

I would not do the hiss mod and I would either replace the speaker or use a
nice external one.

a lot of the other mods are a waste of time. I won't mention which they are
but I have tried most of them.

I think I recently made the worlds best DX-394 by doing all of these mods. I
used a Hi-Fi filter in the wide position, spec is 8/12. and a DX filter in
the narrow position, spec is 5/7. I can handle anything now

What about the strong signal overloading (intermod's) that others have
mentioned?
