Hello to all on the list,
It's fixed. For sure. Confirmed. At least the symptoms I have been
complaining about are gone........
I tested all the resistors and caps that attach to V201/6DC6 tube socket.
All seemed good, except C229/ .005 looked like it should be replaced, so I
did. May or may not have done any good.
I also resoldered ALL the socket pins, and the leads opposite to the
components attached to the socket pins.
Viola!! All bands are strong and stable. They all peak with internal
noise.
This is a "massacre" radio after all, and resoldering the socket pins
probably did the trick, but MAYBE replacing C229 did it.
Regardless of the cause, it is workin fine for the moment, and I learned a
whole lot about this radio and electronic terms in general.
Too many assisted and supported my efforts to put this receiver back in
service, to individually thank, so please accept my thanks to the group over
all. I know that those who did not respond would have if they had the
expertise to work on this specific problem. Thanks. again.
Now back to the alignment.
Regards,
Jim
