In looking over the photos posted by Rob and Ed, one thing I see is that the AVC filter caps are placed away from screen/plate bycass caps - at least in Rob's conversion. Ed, I can't really tell where you placed your AVC filter caps (.047 uF)?

I don't know when I will return to this project. No time to work on radios weeknights, was gone all day yesterday, lots of other things to do today. We shall see. I might find a little time to mess with it today, and I might not.

And Steve - thank you. Pulling tubes sounds like an excellent starting point for troubleshooting, although I am still thinking that I am going to have to move my .047 uF AVC filter caps closer to their respective coils and away from bypass caps.
