The neutralizing procedure worked this time. With the bad tube with the open filament.
The sensitivity is good, many stations are pulled.
The hum - I realized I forgot about the R30, and when turning it, I was able to bring it down to very low level but it is very scratchy so I gave it a bit of Deoxit and will wait an hour before re-attempting it.
The distortion remains a bit, but looking at the detector, I think this is as good as it gets with this arrangement.
I think that's it, will put it back in the cabinet, maybe tonight.

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.
