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

That's what they promise.
It is mostly raining here now but looking like a bit of snow while it is falling, though it is melting while falling.
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.

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..
