38-690 audio problem
#8

After going through this set many times over, I have concluded that the interstage/output transformer is bad - the reason I have no tweeter signal.

I waited until I finished fixing the bad tweeter in the set, a burned up field coil, and was able to connect both speakers to come to that conclusion.

As an experiment I connected a generic output transformer across the primary of the interstage and connected the secondary to the tweeters, and guess what? I have sound coming from them.

So my options are to find another interstage from a donor chassis or add the output transformer under the chassis.

Does anyone have a parts donor?

The rest of the set has come together quite nicely, here is the IF response at minimum bandwidth and maximum:
