Hi Rem....well you can't beat the price on that 270B.
Have fun working on it....I always learn something when I get into any rig.

I'm here because I like to fix things.  I was given a free Swan Cygnet 270B
in less than working condition, and it's my first HF rig.  I got the service
manual, recapped it, and the receiver is working great now, but I'm having
troubles with the transmitter.  That was in 2015, and I've had to keep it on
the back burner since.  Last I can remember I couldn't get more than 15W or
so of output into my dummy load, but as I've never used an HF rig much, let
alone a tube amp, I'm not sure how to best troubleshoot/align/operate it.  I
get nervous about heating and blowing the final tube following the alignment
procedures.  I plan on asking for help later this year when some time frees
up.

Cheers,
Remington, W7REM
