41-258 B+ Problem

Richard, I can't thank you enough. You were dead right about that resistor isolating the RF signals from being filtered. I put a resistor directly ahead of the filter caps, and the choke, and it looks like I am good to go.

When I got this radio, it had suffered a good deal of corrosion. The only stage that worked was the RF amp! All the other wiring and most of the components were shot. It has taken about six months. But, now it plays just like it did back in '41. I am strictly a newbie at radio repair. This is the first time I have attempted a complete rewire of one of these old "rubber wire" sets. This one was definitely a challenge.

I tried aligning the set, when I first powered it up after the rebuild. But, there were so many birdies, images and motorboating, it made alignment just about impossible. Now that I have the B+ issue worked out, it looks like I am finally going to get this bad boy out the door Icon_biggrin

Thanks again for all your help.
