I’m glad you are making progress. If you find that you need a true replacement RF choke let me know. I might have one.
One other thing I’ve found with the last couple of Zeniths I’ve worked on is bad mica caps. I’ve had intermittent coupling caps, maybe someone rotated them years ago, and the plate bypass cap in the audio section. Yours would be C12 the 500 PF unit. When these leak, the audio starts to lack highs. Just something to keep in mind.
I know you’ll really enjoy this radio. Even though it has a single ended output section, it will rock the house.
