[Hallicrafters] S-20R SCHEMATIC QUESTION

Your subject says schematic question, but I sure don't see anything in the
body asking for one.

I just finished building the 1629 eye tube project from:
http://www.antiqueradio.org/magiceye.htm I connected the # 3 pin wire from
S-meter accessory socket ( AVC bus connection) to junction of R33
(A.V.C.decoupling resistor) & 2nd IF Transformer off of 6SK7 2nd IF
amplifier. Am I correct on this connection for AVC Bus?? I am getting all
green in eye tube. It is responding to signal strength -but no dark area,in
other words where it should be dark is a light shade of green & when
stronger signal comes in it saturates  to a darker green.The tube is a NOS
RCA 1629 but slightly loose in base after pulled in & out of socket so I
dont know if that is problem but dont think so. Any thoughts on this
problem?Thanks for any reply.
