Thanks Mike.........same thing goes if you ever need any TDA1572s. This is a
Philips AM Receiver on a chip.

Another thing I discovered.....................somebody had replaced the
blown 1st mixer with some sort of ECG substitute. As a result, the gain
was
about 20dB lower than expected. I popped in the correct chip (SL6440C)
and
the receiver is working quite well now. Sensitivity is very similar to
the
HF-150, as is system gain. Lowe came out with a winner with this one.
If I get enough of these broken receivers, I may become a Lowe expert in
another 100 years.
Anyway, if anybody has some sort of problem with their receiver, feel
free
to shout me down, using my e-mail address.

Pete, if you ever run into a bad MC5800 hybrid RF/IF amp in a
receiver I have plenty.
