Jim,
I would start by checking the HF oscillator output on all bands, then
proceed up the line until you find out why the drive level is way down.  The
manual has a table with the expected signal levels.

> In 20, 15 and 10 I can not get any PA grid indication and the power output
is very low. I measured the RF votage at the PA tubes grids with my scope
and in these 3 bands is about 20 volts peak to peak only while in 80 and 40
is near 200 volts peak to peak. I followed all the RF tuning and
neutralization steps very carefully, but I am a little lost now....What can
be causing this low driving in those 3 bands? Any ideas of what to check?
The trimmers react well so I guess they are in good shape...
