Absolutely lots of ways to die. Such as bad caps, bad variable cap,
resistors that are cooked..... I am pretty good with all of those and have
experienced most of them. But then comes the point of the dirty bulb and it
doesn't have to be the blob. Though you will find the blob most likely with
the dirty bulb.
The darkened window cause a loss in signal and ultimately loss of lock.
The heat gun clears both up.
