Model 16, Code 125
#16

With it misbehaving touch the grid cap of the 78 rf amp and then the 77 mixer tube. Does that stop the noise?

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

I tried as suggested. It didn’t seem to make a difference, other than completely killing the entire signal when I touched one of the tubes.

So, I plugged in and ran 3 different radios, including a more modern (1970s-80s) unit. Apparently the signal I’m getting is something new to either the house or area. Icon_evil I wasn’t getting it earlier (a few weeks ago), so I thought it was specific to this recent restore. It’s not specific. It is affecting my other radios in the same frequency spread. So that resolves this problem. Icon_crazy

The final test will be when I get the 16 home and try it. My guess, there is a transformer or some such device near Jeff that it splattering out a spurious signal. I've seen that same sort of thing happen on the ham band. We'll see! Thanks for your hard work, Jeff!!
