All questions deserve closure, sorry, this one is not too satisfying. Except for me. Started with an RF signal at the antenna and worked my way towards the rear. I had to loosen up some parts to move out of the way, getting to plates on tube sockets. Looked great on my scope all the way to the plate of the of the IF amp. Why didn't it work? Put back the antenna and darn if it didn't play nice. Tightened everything back down and still working well. Don't ask me why. Did an alignment and perked up even more. On to chassis cleaning and perhaps I can kill it again.
