Dave,
Is this the same in the TR4C? In my TR4C at least, that  R13
is a 33K in the grid to cathode of V3A mixer. Would that be
the one  to which you refer?

There is a swamping resistor R-13 located near the  relay
that has a tendency
to change value. It may be the cause of your  problem.  This
resistor adjusts
the current reading to the meter  and is factory selected.  I
have replaced a
couple of them for  lower or erratic meter readings.

Hope this  helps,
Dave

I believe, this is my problem area. R13 is 'selected in production'. In my  
case, there was 2  large, parallel 5.1 ohm power resistors... In addition,  one 
leg was shorted to an adjacent terminal. However, removing these resistors,  
and attemping to measure a vottage there produced zero. Nearby, there is a 
diode  with only one end connected!
 
This was a 'parts' radio I got for cheap and I've brought it back to near  
100%, with the exception of the s-meter, but I'll get that!

Any APPROXIMATE value for R13??
