37-10 plate voltages 100 vdc high
#17

this radio works but not properly. i have recapped it and changed resistors #80, # 83, # 86 and replaced cap #31 with 18 mfd.
I have checked most resistors and changed out those that were broken, burned or out of tolerance.

Ok i am starting over. ECG DM-38A Digital multimeter measured to chassis.

osc control tube 6N7G CALLS FOR 260 VDC ON P1 & P2. Actual is 184.5 and 3.3 on K.
6F6G OUTPUT CALLS FOR 250 0N P & 235 on S and 260 on S & 250 on P.
Actuals are 295 & 290 / and / 274 & 264.
6A8G calls for 250 & 85 & (150 0sc plate), actuals are 285.5 & 78,5 and (osc p 135.4)
6K7G (if) calls for P=260, S = 85, & neg 2.5 / actuals are P=295.6, S 79.4, & neg 2.7.
6K7G (rf) calls for 250 & 85 and actuals are 284.5 & 79.5 and neg 2.7
6Q7G calls for 170 and actual is 116.6 on P.

signal is weak unless i hook up 80' of antena and signal is distorted if i was working on a guitar amp i would say it sounds like the pre amp is over driving the output or the neg bias on the outputs is too low making the output fuzzy.
