It was difficult, but I disconnected the 250 pf cap (#22) from the unit. It tested okay.

I reconnected #22 to the 150 ohm resistor which has the red wire attached at the other end.

I tested the unit and #29 resistor was operating fine.

I cleaned the junction where I disconnected #22, reconnected #22, rearranged some wires...

IT WORKED!

Attached the antenna, and was able to tune to numerous stations.

Burn-in is next...

Thank you all for the assistance! Much appreciated!
