Pith, please look at post 140 and respond so we know where your at. When you try it, have the radio volume at max. If you indeed peaked the IF section with success at 260KC via a tone, we can assume that all is working well from the IF (78 tube) back through the speaker. Can you lay out the voltages on the RF and Det./Osc voltages in a more readable mode? Sorry, I get a headache trying to figure them out. Problem appears to be in the area of those two tubes and associated circuits.
