Well the little tuning job turned into a few hours with no luck. Since I installed the new oscillator, the IF cans and padders where all over the place. On top of that, it SOUNDS LIKE it's running in a variac at 50% and misaligned. The rich sound is gone and it sounds nasal. The stations are not lining up. I put my signal generator to the grid of the 6A7 tube, tried alignment there and it still sounds bad. Any ideas? Thanks!!!
