I don't remember if I said so or not.  But the tech manual on the set is TM 11-852.  I have a reprint available for $19.15 plus postage.  It's listed on my web site if you need to use a credit card.

Interim Report:

The guy who worked on it should never been allowed to pick up a 
soldering iron.� It took time to figure out because it was so squirrelly.

1.� He removed the modulation transformer, perhaps because it was 
"Unconventional."

2.� No voltage to the 813 screens because of some removed resistors from 
the dropping string, also disconnected at the high voltage end.

3.� No voltage to the buffer because it was connected to part of the 
aforementioned resistor string, disconnected at the high voltage end.

4.� The dropping string to the oscillator and buffer screen was removed 
and brought out to an unused terminal point.� Might have been OK.

There are several wires still unaccounted� for which are hard to trace.� 
This is the worst "mod" I've ever seen.� Well, there have been others - 
each one seems "worst" when you see it.
