This is my first shot of explaining a problem with my R 390 receiver.

  1.. Chassis is hot at 80 V AC
  2.. V 505 no filament but checks good
  3.. Test point E 211  Attached rf generator & lots of signal
  4.. Test point E210 attach signal generator   no signal
  5.. V  6C4  checks ok
  6.. V 401 6AK5 checks ok
  7.. Original problem was 1 dead 26Z5 
  8.. Install 2 new replacement.
Not sure if there is more info I can give you but would appreciate any help from any of the owners of this wonderful receiver, on this interesting site.

This radio had never been worked on until the two 26z5 replacements were installed.
