After obtaining a new power transformer for my Baltika, I find that it really likes the new transformer, it doesn't even get significantly warm to the touch.
The radio itself works pretty well now, except for one minor problem: The MW band does not work. The Local Oscillator is dead. If I insert a carrier of the proper frequency I can receive stations on it, but without that, nada.
There is a coil on the bottom side of the chassis that looks as though to be for the MW band, and it has one wire that is broken off of somewhere. I cannot locate where this goes. I've tried touching it to various points close enough for it to reach, but still nothing.
I have what seems to be the only schematic available for the set, downloaded from radiomuseum.org, but it's of little help, since it shows no pictorials of where parts are located.
Anyone (Mike, Peter?) able to lend a hand with this issue?
Thanks in advance for your time.
