   Hi, I’m still working on my R-13B. All the tubes check ok on my Hickok 6000A tube tester. The RF oscillator tunes from 91 to 120 MHz which looks good for the 15 MHz IF. The B+ is low (170 volts) from my supply but I’m told that should be ok.
   There seems to be an excessive amount of vibration sensitivity, I tap anywhere and get lots of harmonies noise.  What is usually the cause of that?
   Still no signal through to the output, just “rush” noise.
   Suggestions to check welcome.
