I did find the 9K resistor #57 was bad reading 37 K I replaced it with a 10K
I checked #23 it was reading 23k it should be 20k the only resistor I have to replace it with is 22k so I left it in, #22 that read 52k and spec is 51k so I left that one in too.
The pilot light is now working, I also found a ground issue so thumping is gone.
There is sound when touching all 3 grid caps but no stations.
6A8 pin 4 is 63V should be 90V and 6K8G pin 4 is 63V should be 90V Where should I look for this problem?
What is the correct antenna set up for a indoor antenna to listen to Broadcast?
Thanks for all the help so far. Ralph

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
