It won't pick the gen up anywhere except 455. I have no idea what else to look for, all voltages are correct, tubes good, coils good, tuning cond good, all caps and resistors are good. The only thing I haven't checked is the loop antenna but even if it were shorted somewhere wouldn't it still pick up a signal through my dummy loop on the gen?
