116B (121) won't fly
#1

This old barn beast could damage a perfectly good reputation. Picked it up for $50.00 and if I knew then what
I know now I would have never touched it for half the price. Speaker cone was gone, output tfmr open and the
connecting wires and connector was gone. Had the cone and voice coil rebuilt and replaced output tfmer with a reasonable facsimilly (125D) the dynamic coil was good. Replaced 77-two 78's and a 42. I've checked all coils 3 times
all good except for the shadow meter and I rewound it. Replaced all caps and I've got B+ where it should be. 
The oscillator seems to be running. I've checked with another little radio and i can make it scream by using the 
tuning condenser on the 116b. About all I can get from it is the scratching noise from the dirty volume control.
I can't look at this thing any more, gives me heartburn. Can anyone point me in a direction where I might be able
to find this problem? Same on all bands  Icon_crazy Thanks..
