All done for now…had to track down an issue with the oscillator and traced it down to a mica cap that was over its specified value by 50% and also had an intermittent internal connection on one end. Aligned the BC band and adjusted the grid bias voltage on the 6V6 tubes ( since this radio originally had 6F6 tubes in the audio output stage ). Also put in a new 6E5 eye tube…this radio chassis works well now and sounds great with lots of volume.
Not a lot of wiggle room in this chassis due to the narrow width…it was really hard to get at some of the components.
Just looking for a set of knobs for this before it goes back into the cabinet…anyone have any ideas?
