Well, I kind of liked the look of it.. But however .. Another problem cropped up...
The Radio will motorboat at approx 1/2 way on tuning.. For a very small area.. This is on AM band. I do not think it does it on the other bands But I will check.. Also saw this on top of tuning cap that goes from cap to the 6A8 tube..
Doesn't quite look right..

The wire marked L doesn't go anywhere.. Only wraps around other that goes to Grid of the 6A8..
Does the 6A8 Need a shield?
Skip...
