Help Please! 38-116 Troubles
#13

#90 checked good but I'll pop a new one in place. After I posted last night I went back to work on it and found that I accidently knocked off the grid wire of the 6k7avc tube. Reinstalled that and the radio started to play, not well but play. Amount of volume is low and I can only receive stations from 1500 to around 850-900 on the band, anything lower is just squeals and squallers(if thats a word).

I'll reattach the grid circiut(1meg to 111) of the 6r7 since it will not hurt anything. I'll double check the bias but if I remember correctly it was at -3.5volts on that tube and then I will check again at the 6l6's and at the resistors(115,116).

We are getting closer!!!

Bob
