[TenTec] Paragon 585

[Bwana Bob]

Rod:

Inspect the battery to make sure it hasn't leaked.  The only other thing 
that typically goes wrong with Paragons is the PLL Out of Lock 
condition. This is fixable, but requires a lot of patience.  The VCO 
coils may require adjustment due to component aging or you may have to 
reflow the solder on both PLL boards, due to the original poor 
construction quality. If you get a PLL Out of Lock, observe which bands 
and if it goes out of lock at 50 kHz intervals. This will help localize 
the problem.

73,

Any precautions or suggestions before (and as) I put power to it and start checking it out? Condition: One small cut out in the top panel and it has all the filter slots filled. Looks complete and good otherwise.
