Hi Guys,

So what do you think is broken?  The Oscillator, the Scope or 
Both!  Or is it that tenuous looking wire that's snaking all over 
creation?  That photo really DOES say a thousand words.

BTW, the IF deck problem points back to the tubes in the 6BA6 stages 
so I grabulated onto a sleeve of five NIB/NOS, JAN 5749W's.  Only ONE 
of the five NIB tubes does not inject hum onto the signal.  I don't 
have a tube tester so I can't play that game right now.  That does 
however give me three tubes that do "work" - the single NIB 5749W and 
two 6BA6's from Jon's Vacuum Tube Graveyard (6BA6's did test 
ok).  Sorry but this kind of baloney just ain't right.

Jon
