Gents,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I should have realized that the negative point of reference for the grids was the filaments, measuring from there shows that all is well with the grid voltages.

I am impressed by the sensitivity of this radio. With just a 6 foot wire in my basement I'm picking up stations 300 miles away (at high noon). It should be a hot performer upstairs with a proper antenna and ground.

Cheers,

Scott
