Today:
While extracting the capacitor can, decided to check the wirewound pot on the back panel, the one from AVC circuit.
It is open. Ordered a similar from eBay, cheap, $1.50 from China. If doesnt fit, it's a dollar-fifty.
So the whole bias network did not work.
Also fully open 100K resistor in the 1st AF, 77 tube plate circuit. Wouldn't work.
Wow, this radio is one handicapped old-timer.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
