Guys, thanks much for all the help in getting one of my AT-1's up and running.   It worked!
 
Now have another AT-1 that was modified with a 6BQ6 final.  Supposedly it was to really increase the power. . .by a whopping 10 watts or so!  Quite frankly, the AT-1 is pretty well butchered up, but I'd like to get it working if I can.
 
I recall the 6BQ6 modifications were in an old QST magazine.   (That kind of dates me, huh?)  Did some research and it was in October 1955 edition by a person named Lew McCoy.  I don't have that issue.
 
QST wants to sell the CD with the old article on it (along with several years of QST magazines on the CD).     Just wondered if anyone had a copy of this particular article.
 
This AT-1 is not getting any B+ to the final, and it is clear that some of the wiring in/from the PS has been modified.  (I thought it was simply missing the jumper from pin 3 to pin 4 on the back, but that isn't the issue.)  The original schematic and the modified wiring don't match up.  The article/schematic would be helpful if someone has a copy.
 
Thanks again.
