[R-390] NO WORKIE - was, I broke it!

AMEN!!!
 I am working on an old Johnson business band transceiver that the 1st mixer
won't oscillate. Very simple circuit and I changed everything including the
crystal (twice). Damn thing won't fire. I can inject a signal from my
HP8640B
and it receives just fine. I'm thinking about building a separate sand state
circuit and going that route.

hang in there!

I've had it open twice to try to figure out why it doesn't work.  It is a
SIMPLE one tube circuit and with 45+ years of tube experience it shouldn't
be a challenge for me.  But then engineers have a saying that the two most
maddening things in engineering are "Oscillators that don't and amplifiers
that do" (oscillate).
