Thanks for the input Terry - I appreciate it.  Based on this I decided to take a step back.  I recalled that when I tried to complete the FM tests on this page:

   
   
step 2 actually failed.  I've attached a different copy of the schematic so you can see the test points called out in the tests.  Test point A is the control grid of the 7R7 and test point B is the plate of the 6BA6.  I was able to get a signal through but it wasn't the same signal strength as in step 1.  In fact it was a fair amount lower.  I guess I chose to ignore it since I did get a signal through, but I think this may be where the problem is.  So I tried to do an alignment again and this time I noticed that adjusting C301A has virtually no effect.  If I go back from there and inject into Z300 I can adjust C300A, C300B and C301B and all react as you would expect...I can peak up the output.  But C301A has no affect.  I think I need to remove Z301 and check C301A...perhaps the mica has failed.  Thoughts?

By the way, I did check the plate voltage on the 7F8 and I got about 110 for AM and about 120 for FM.  The schematic says I should have 95 and 105, but I measured with a Fluke 77 so I would think that's ok.  And I don't have a 100mc scope...I have a Tektronix 2215, so just 60mc.

Thanks!
