Today, I hooked  my Morrow Falcon receiver up, turned it on........lights,  NO sound. Without a manual, I recapped the complete IF and audio section. That totaled  6 or 7 caps. Turned it on again and some receiver noise but no signals.
I then checked all the tubes and all except one checked OK on my Model B&K model 700 mutual transconductance tube tester. 
The 6C4 was BAD and upon replacement the receiver began  making band noise and received some SSB (without working BFO) and some music.
Switches are  probably slightly dirty  and need a spurt of DE OXIT.
I had a Falcon schematic but it became misplaced. I am looking for a Morrow schematic and manual. It would be easier to work on it if I had the manual with voltages, resistance chart at tube sockets and chart of voltages at the  tube sockets..
I had forgotten the challenge of reading the value of molded round black beauty Caps.. I replaced all caps in the audio and IF section with .1 @ 630 volt mylar cap. It would make moving to the RF, and oscillator and replacing caps much easier if I had a schematic and manual for the Morrow Falcon.    

I plan to complete the R&R of the Falcon tomorrow, but if someone has a Falcon manual, I will gladly pay for a photo copy. If you can assist me in obtaining documentation on the Morrow Falcon I will gladly compensate you and be greatly appreciative.
Please share your Falcon exrperience with me and pass along your suggestions for success with the Falcon. I haven't gone into the RF section and don't know what needs to be  done there Your input and technical help will be greatly appreciated.
Please share your experience working on Falcons. 73, JOHN King,, K5pgw
