I'm ready for the virtual beer..maybe 2!!!
Just aquired a 38-116xx and someone repalced the 6r7 tube with a 6sr7gt, removed the cap wire and re-vamped a few things under the chassis. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Right now I've only replaced all filters, I have power and a little static thru the speaker but no response at all in the volume, tone or band controls. I am wondering if this change could be the issue and the person stopped because it did not work. Any thoughts? I've ordered the schematic from the repair bench so as soon as I get it I'll be going thru the chassis one resistor at a time I'm afraid. Right now looking for instant gratification...like to hear it talk!!
