[Boatanchors] More DX-35 problems

After correcting some stupid mistakes (One bad solder joint and a unsoldered 
connection) and the assistance of a few list members, I was able to get B+ 
to the oscillator.

The rig works except I have a very shallow plate current dip (at 120 mA (756 
volts)) and I can not adjust the grid drive. It stays at 4 mA and can not be 
changed with the drive control.

Also, the antenna loading control has NO effect on the plate current 
reading.

The watt meter shows 100 watts into a dummy load.

The above conditions exist on any band, using several different xtals.

The rig was rebuilt with all new resistors and caps. . . .

Any ideas on correcting the above problem(s)?

TIA es 73
