Well, after much disassembly, retracing of circuits, rearrangement of a couple of parts on the LONG terminal strip in the IF - 2nd detector, 1st audio section, as well as tracking down a power connection problem on the final amp - power supply end, I am finally getting an audio signal through the 6Q7G 1st audio, which increases and decreases properly using the volume control. That is as far as I have gotten today, but it is something anyway. No explosions or smoke from anywhere else either, so that's a plus. Time to sit back, relax, and drink a nice cup of tea. I do a little at a time, slowly working out the errors I may have made. If I work too long I end up with a back ache from being hunched over the chassis using my lighted magnifying loop so I can see clearly enough to do the work.
