Thank you for the diagram. Looking at the provided diagram then checking my chassis it appears to follow the print. I'm reading 115 ohms on r58 instead of the 109 ohms. I didnt think I was too far off. When I installed c59 they were new and both times sent positive to ground. Also today I was measuring the voltage on the plates of the output 6f6g and the 1st stage audio 6k5g. When I power up the plates jump little over 300v then drop below around 120 volts. Sporadically it climbs back up to 200v then drops. The first 6f6g baffles me, starts at 150v then drops around 30v. Seems like it cant maintain the required voltage. I'm trying to see if this somehow connects to the exploding c59 cap. Im wondering if my transformer is defective with the fluctuation in voltage.
Yesterday with my meter I was testing the grounding connections which checked out fine. When I bought this radio the seller told me he couldn't get the chassis working and sent it to a friend to work on. I'm guess he had no luck either. I will keep looking.
Also, thank you to the person that moved my thread to this forum.
To someone else's question, I have been on a Chinook but not in flight. Hopefully some day. I'm just associated to the a manufacturing of the aircraft. The Chinook prints seems easier to read than this chassis at times.
