Another Cantankerous 89-123

Hi Hugh and welcome to the Phorum,

> Anyone have some good advice on how to clean tube sockets?

Deoxit works well for me, just  make sure that it is dry out before powering the set up.

>Tomorrow I'll get out the scope and see if I can figure out if the oscillator is working properly

You can listen to it in another receiver tuned to the same frequency + the IF frequency. You can use a transistor set placed near the osc tube.

Glad to have you aboard!
Terry
