GE 115 troubleshooting
#21

Ok Here is what happened while waiting for the Signal Tracer Instruction Manual. The only reason I wanted this radio was the price ($15 ) and the cabinet which is great shape. On the chassis it is was partial re-caped so I finished it. I have been concentrating on the RF and Audio sections thinking this was the source of the distortion after all I did voltage checks and 35Z5 side was on the money. I decided to check the wiring on the power section and C-14 .05 mf was not connected properly. the side that was connected pin 2 of the 35 was right but the other side went to the chassis not to 12sq7 pin 8. Once I lifted it the distortion went away apparently it was AC. I returned it per the print.
Now I have one more question I get 120v chassis to ground. I added a polarized plug so the hot side is on the switch and on the print the only thing I see besides Pin 1 on the tube's is C-20 .05mf and R-11 470k going to ground. Do I have another problem?
