Ha! Oh, this radio knows me by now! Coils are in good shape. Tomorrow I will set it up to begin RF alignment and will change out the following tubes, one at a time in the order written, and see if I get a signal back in from the generator instead of the buzz.

6A8G
6N7G
6K7G

While these tubes check out "OK" on my Sencor tester, I've sometimes seen "OK" tubes have something wrong with them that doesn't show up on the tube checker. Beyond that idea, I'm fresh out of ideas.

Who was that masked man????
