38-690 Electronic Restoration
#17

I fixed the bad ground rivet connection on the Amp chassis, and now the hum is gone. Troubleshooting the intermittents in the RF chassis is next. Should have some time this afternoon to start. I will pick a few monitoring points for voltage around the 6U7 so I can watch what happens when it goes out. Suspect the bandswitch or a bad solder connection (radio was full of them from previous repair person).

I have the pictures of the painted chassis's in the link below which shows how they look completed. Just click on the photostream for a full compliment.
