I checked the parts Rod had suggested and they are all good. I changed the leads to the grid caps. I did notice that on the parts list #35 was a .25 cap but the schematic showed it as .05. I originally had put in a new .25 but I changed it to the .05, still no difference.
I’m not sure how to check whether the leads of the IF transformers have been crossed. I didn’t do anything to the IF cans other than took the top off to replace that grid cap wire.
I have noticed that if I put a finger on top of the 6K7 RF tube the faint stations come in better but I dont know if thats just me acting as an antennae. The motorboating is still there. I do
appreciate all the advice/ suggestions.
Ron, I typed in 6K7 but it is the 6Q7 tube where I have the wire running inside the tube shield.
Rod, I will check around the 6A8 tube and report back. Is there specific checks I should do? I’m very new to radio restoration.
