This one baffles me.
The set does demodulate the input signal and plays back a tone, but it's exactly twice the original frequency.
For example, if the original pre-modulated input is a sine wave at 600Hz, the result is also a sine wave but at 1200Hz.
Most passive components have been changed by now, and the result is the same even with other tubes. Right now I have C405 reading 75 pF instead of 56 pF as per the schematic. Should it be changed?
Also, the "canned" R and C components at the 2nd IF transformer have not yet been checked or replaced.
Any comments or remarks appreciated.
All the best.
