I've replaced the 6A8 tube. Same dead zone. The stations that did come in now seem to overlap each other with 2 or more stations heard simultaneously. No station comes in clear. This took place about a week ago. When I tested last weekend with a 2nd replacement tube I now only hear a hum with no reception. I seem to be going in the wrong direction with this. Radio does have newer electrolytics and caps. Should the lamp light dim down on this radio after powering up as it does on an AA5? Will test it on a dim bulb tester tonight.

Randy - no swooshing sound where 1440 should be heard. Just silence. Tubes in this set are 6A8G, 6K7G, 6Q7G, 5Y4G and 6F6G.

I just acquired a signal generator and am studying how to perform an alignment. Does this point to 2 issues, a short and an alignment? Hoping to follow the steps Jerry kindly provided here for the short test this week.

Thanks fellas.
