Two quick test. First put your finger on the grid cap of the 75 tube. You should hear a hum. If not, you have a problem in the output section. Second, place a working radio near the 39-25. Tune the 39-25 to the low to mid part of the dial say 700. Tune the working radio 470 kc above 39-25. Rock either dial, you should be able to hear the oscillator. By doing these two tests you have tested about two thirds of your radio.

Give the tuner a good wash in Dawn and hot water. Then set tuner in a plastic container and cover with vinegar let soak ...David — 12:53 PM

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM
