Recap done.
Decided to check the RF coils, noticed that the 2nd detector's tube cathode and its load, 2x70kOhms resistors, were not connected to the B+ while being connected to the rest of the circuitry.
I wonder how it worked before (it did, I heard it myself). Maybe it was, maybe I broke it off....but I always leave stubs.
Anywho, tomorrow I need to open up the speaker, inspect it, change the cord and totally broken AC plug.
Mulling the possibility of the flat cord change....but might leave it.
The outer plastic jacket is falling off, but underneath is another layer of insulation. Not sure ...it is not touching anything. Or I might snip the pieces and connect new wire under chassis only.....I will probably align it before I go to it, provided it even works, which I hope it will.
