I seem to have a signal issue with a RP-2 player. I have replaced all the caps, and all resistors out of speck. The 6A7 is good and I believe the 84 is good (no tube tester). It would seem the signal from the player is weak, I can hear it on a small radio I have on the bench, but no matter what I have tried the signal does not improve. I suspect the oscillator or possible the 84. What should the voltage be on each pin of the 84? How can I test the oscillator and can I hook a signal generator to the crystal leads instead of using a record for troubleshooting. From what I have read from searching the forums is, this is an easy restoration and the player should sound fine, I figure this is something simple I keep overlooking. I am fairly new to this but have enjoyed lurking on the forum and collecting "old stuff" as my wife and kids say. Look forward to get this done and start on other “old stuff” I have waiting on the bench.
