Well, I am still not satisfied with the short wave performance. Something is amiss, according to my "Sixth sense". All the coils seem intact and in good condition. Additionally, I got out the trusty Heathkit grid dip meter, and checked that the antenna circuits were tuning in reasonable track with the oscillator. Next on the checklist will be to look at all the voltages again on the mixer, check resistors, mica caps and bandswitch.

I'm happy enough at the moment that there is still some tinkering to do Icon_smile
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
