Terry (radioroslyn) is not only exceptional at troubleshooting these radios, but a very patient man for putting up with me!
He rather quickly led me to a problem in the #33 bake lite condensor that was sending 160v to the control grid. Turns out that I shorted the legs of the two capacitors inside the bake lite
The radio is back up and running now (Thank you Terry!). But I still have the motor boating problem. If I tune in a strong channel the motor boating goes away, but it overwhelms most week channels. If I put back in the incorrect IF tube (77) motor boating goes away.
Any advice on tracking down this problem?
