Ron, I understand..Not blaming Chuck.. I'm sure that was all he had.. But I was hopeing he had more..
This thing is such a mess that I need as much info and parts layout I can get..Otherwise its going in garbage..
That would be a shame as the Case is really in great shape.. But getting frustrated

It is mostly raining here now but looking like a bit of snow while it is falling, though it is melting while falling.

When first powered on I had terrible motor boating across the band.. I forgot to Ground 2 of the tubes.. The 7B6 and 7B7.. After grounded set works with NO hum and no more motor boating.. On to alignment..
