[Johnson] Johnson Ranger Problem -part 2

Hello all and thanks to those of you that sent me ideas.
 
Gary, you gave me a huge hint. I removed the Damper Tube -6AQ5...and without the tube, the transmitter works perfectly, including the nuturalization issue. I have normal plate voltage and full power output. 
 
 I've carefully checked all the wiring around the damper tube and it seems fine. I checked the tube, and it is strong. I checked the three resistors (11K total) and they were fine, the .005 cap is fine.
 
It makes me wonder if I could just forget the clamper tube and use the rig?  However, I won't do that since that circuit must be important.
 
Thanks again...anyone have an idea of where I can go from here?
 
Wayne
