zenith 6s254 under chassis pics
#1

Hello fella's,
Brought home a 6s254 this week and found that a previous owner has made some changes that I need to try to correct.
I have re-capped other than a few questionable caps.
Did not play at all, not even static until I replace most caps.
Now I have audio, but it will not receive stations unless I pull the grid cap off the 6A8 tube and touch the cap on the tube while holding onto the metal tuning dial shaft.
Seems like some kind of ground issue?
Any one have good clear pics of the underside of the chassis so I have a good reference?
I could send you my personal email to send the pics to.
Need clarification on the tube pin wiring for the 6A8 as well as the 6K7 tubes.
Also noticed he substituted the 5Y4 tube with a 5Y3 tube.
Has the 5Y3 tube number written on the chassis, so I am wondering if he changed any wiring so he could use that tube.
Any help would be appreciated as usual.
Thanks,
murf
