update : I changed the oscillator mica to the proper 110 pf . And that did not change the problem . It is as if no rf and oscillator freq is going across this transformer(#6) . But is going cap to cap on the tubes .And that is why it stops when I put the shield on . I think .
Double checked the 1st detector coil (#6) and 17 ohms primary and 4.6 secondary ohms seems incorrect. Does anyone know what this should be ? I am thinking it should be close to 1:1 ratio. I may have that information coming with prints I ordered . But most of the ones I have spare check close to 1:1 ohms .
 The only coils I have to substitute are 455 khz peak . So that is where I am at with it .At least eliminating
some things .Thanks!
