[Heathkit] HW-101 low output on 80 & 40 m

[Bwana Bob]

Does it receive OK?

Since the problem is only on 80 and 40, I would suspect one of the 
driver/preselector coils because they are in a series/parallel 
arrangement. Also check the heterodyne oscillator coils for opens or 
misalignment.

Replaced all tubes including finals, changed a couple of resistors that were slightly out of range and still the same, I checked the voltages around the finals as compared to a working hw-101 and seemed ok as well.
