OK, I'm glad you got it sorted out
I have been down that road also, stupid mistakes
are sometimes the hardest to find.
I don't go back as far as you do I think. TV was fully
established when I was born (1960). My grandfather
had a TV/Radio repair shop in Kenmore NY (Buffalo
area) and I have fond memories when I was about 7 or 8
and later watching him fix TVs etc... He was a ham going
way back to the spark days. I have some of his
newer ham gear now. He dropped out of high school to
go to radio school and beyond that was largely self-taught
and very good at his trade.
Anyway, I've been working on a 1935 GE Radio (A-65) the
last few days and finally got it all re-capped and re-resistored.
Works like a charm now! Need to do an alignment next
and also set the dial spread and offset.
Hope you have a great Christmas also!
