Thanks everyone for your replies!!! Unfortunately, the history of this radio is not super clear BUT it is obvious that someone had been in it to do mods like the clarifier unlock (which I restored to factory) and an upgraded regulator as well as replacing the driver and finals with some unknown fakes. The soldering on this unit was not that great as well so I am assuming that the person that did the mods was not as on point as maybe they should have been. We have all worked on radios like this though. There is no point returning it unless I can be sure that the frequency is stable. I will just keep on plugging away at it to see if I can come up with any ideas to help the IF cans be more "stable".

Thanks as always!!!!
