Traw-John?

I was thinking more like "Nathan-Ohm" since this was Nathan's idea.

Anyway...problems.

Yesterday evening before the full effect of the chemo hit, I finished wiring up the 6T2, connected a speaker and an antenna, and brought it up slowly with a Variac.

No releases of magic smoke...no explosions...but also, no sound!

I had a hum at the grid cap of the 6F5. And when placing a finger on the grid cap of the 6A7, I can tune in stations - which tells me something is wrong with the antenna coil assembly since this occurs on all three bands.

In addition:

* The plates of the tuning condenser start rubbing from 650 kc and below.
* The replacement 50K tone control causes the set to squeal when turned toward the bass end...so I am going to need that original 100K control after all.

I'll start trying to sort all of this out in a few, or several, days.

Again, the service manual containing the schematic is here (warning - large file - 32.1 MB) in case anyone wants to look it over and offer any suggestions regarding the antenna coil, tone control, and tuning condenser.
