I'm not finished yet.
I did a little troubleshooting tonight. The RF and det-osc tubes are both receiving the correct voltages. The antenna coils have good continuity.
There is one thing that puzzles me. Capacitor (12), 250 pF. On the top side of this cap, where the signal generator is basically connected direct to the grid of the RF tube, I am able to pass a signal. But on the other side of this cap (the end which connects to terminal C4 on the band switch and to the first stator of the tuning condenser), it does not pass a signal.
The same is not true of capacitor (17), also 250 pF, in series with the grid of the 6J8G. I can pass a signal from either side of (17).
Maybe (12) is bad?
I'll find out tomorrow...
