I got the second RX put back together today, new meters, all the stuff 
soldered back in place, all the modules installed, new re-wired PS with 
the tubes, turn it on and it plays, noise from the headphone jack, BW, 
BFO, Meters, etc seem to work. Check the osc voltages and E209 is 
-9.4VDC, E210 is -2.2VDC, E211 is -2.65VDC, (not too bad) but E402 is 0. 
Test the #1 390A which is working and the E402 is also 0VDC. What is 
going on here? I haven't put RF into the newly fixed input yet.

I also need one of those BNC to mini BNC adapters (J116) for the IF 
module. Stole it out of the other RX for now to test stuff. I don't 
think I every got a DC voltage reading on E402 in the past, I'm 
wondering what that is about, especially when the fixed RX works?

Got a lot done today getting the old one back together without too much 
missing.
