Do you have an antenna connected to the set? It needs at least 25 feet of wire; longer is better.

diamondust Wrote:When I test voltages the screen grid volts are about one and a half times what they should be -- the control grids are about five times what they should be!! -- Cathode volts are about one and a half times . The even stranger thing is that the " 24 " second detector plate has over the double ( 230 v. ) what it should be!! The other plates are only sl. high.

Did you check all resistor values? What is your line voltage?

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
