Thanks to all who replied to my request for help. The problem turned out to
be a failed ballast tube. I changed the VFO and BFO tubes to 12BA6's and
stuck the paper clip jumper in the ballast tube socket. All is working well
again.
I don't know if the failure of one of the 26Z5W rectifier tubes precipitated
the failure of the ballast tube or if they were two unrelated malfunctions.
The rectifiers were replaced with a pair of Ted Weber's copper top silicon
plug in's.
