[MRCG] Need BC-375-E advice

I didn't check the actual antenna contacts. Concentrated on the keying contacts deep inside the main relay. 

Running the filaments at 1/2 power right now with a variac ahead of the PSU. Will bump them up to full power this afternoon. Not sure if this is an Old Ham's Tale, but figured I'd give it a try rather than slam these NOS tubes with full filament power after so long in storage.

Feel a tad silly, but 211's that won't oscillate in this rig will still work OK as amplifiers/modulators, correct?

Jim,

Thought you tried those already(?).
