49-1401 no audio
#1

Hello,

I am working on 49-1401 that has no audio output.  All tubes test good.  Capacitors replaced. Resistors test good.  The schematic has a very nice troubleshooting chart which I have attached. Using a signal generator, I get no audio at test points A and E.  I do get audio a point C, but not point D. A tried another 6AQ6 with no difference. The 10meg resistor is shown to go between pins 1-2.  On my unit the 10meg go to pin 1 and pin 6 with a wire to pin3.  Pins 2 and 3 tied together.  The schematic is difficult to read clearly.  Should pins 2-3 be tied together?   Should the 10meg go to pin 2 via pins 6 and 3?  Any help is appreciated.  A photo of the wiring on tube 6AQ6 might help as well. Thanks
