The problems continue here, or should I say challenges.
On a recently acquired HW-16, the rcvr is very deaf. I can hear one or two very weak sigs on 80 & 40 (haven't tried 15). I made voltage checks on each tube with control settings per the schematic info and at 120vac input. I got some odd ball readings, especially, on V2B (6EA8)..pin 1 is 49VDC (s/b 167). On looking at the actual wiring, something looks funny and doesn't seem to follow the schematic re the band switch wiring to the coils (L4,L5,L6). Is there supposed to be a wire from the common coil connections (which is fed B+ thru a 100K resistor) over to the third wafer from front? Does anyone have a blow up of the band switch wiring that they could scan. I rec'd the schem. and alignment info from a list member which has been very helpful but still don't have a manual, but I'm looking.
Tnx for any help...73 de Bill K4JYS
