Hi Terry   Now today the radio is a little off the dial by 30 kHz.  Yesterday it was right on.  I did the 2 radio test for the oscillator.  I could hear it up to 1030kc and the other radio was at 1250kc.  That's where it drops out.  Also checked voltage @pin 4 of 6A7 --  106.2 to grnd.    102 to K.  I hope this gives you an idea.  Also when I first turned the radio on I had to touch pin 5 of 6A7 to get reception.  Don't know if there is a bad connection in the socket or what.  Thanks 

Dick
