I did touch the grid cap of the 6A7, and no improvement unfortunately. I could hear noise from the speaker when I touch the grid cap. But right now I can’t even get a faint station at all. It’s all very strange…

Now I am going to try one thing. A while back I replaced all the resistors that have drifted, but I left the others that tested okay. I’m going to replace the others that are testing okay, just to see what happens. They test spot on, so I left them, but maybe one of those is causing the issue. I did read that resistor 14 and 24 I believe can cause problems… I’m very glad Bob Anderson has a video series on YouTube on a model 60, so I’ve been doing everything exactly how he does it. If Bob Anderson is reading this, I thank you so much for the YouTube videos!
