Roger,
It happens that I do have an AF-67 modulation transformer, which I'll be
happy to send for the cost of shipping.
Have you checked the transformer that couples the audio driver stage to
the grids of the push-pull modulator stage? These are notorious for
going bad, due to defective enamel wire insulation. I'm not sure if my
junker has one of those, but I'll check. Also, the AF-67 used a 22 Volt
battery for grid bias on the modulator tubes. I've seen several schemes
for eliminating this, one of which was to put a high wattage 22 volt
avalanche diode between the cathodes and ground.
