[Elecraft] Need Help with XG1

>I have an XG-1 Receiver Test Oscillator which I must have accidentally 
zapped with RF somehow (I don't know when) because the output resistors 
R6-8 were fried.  I replaced them, as well as R4 and R5, C4 and the 
transistor.  The slide switch in the output tests ok.

>When I turn the XG-1 on, I can very faintly hear its signal, so it
appears 
that the oscillator is working, but the output level is nowhere near what

it should be. Voltage at the top of C3 is 1.23 volts.  Anyone have any 
ideas where else I could look?  Elecraft tech support was helpful but 
ultimately gave up.

Pete, try replacing D1 and/or D2.  One or both is
probably shorted.
